Fool Proof Optical Audio Connections

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

When you need a Digital Optical Audio connection between two devices, this is perfect, and at a FRACTION of the cost you will pay at any big box store (I checked 5 well know major retailers). It is advised not to exceed 15' to 30' with Toslink cables due to signal degradation and the risk of damage to longer cables since they will not tolerate being bent or crimped.

Interesting side note....This Digital Optical technology was invented by Toshiba to connect their earlier CD players to their digital receivers/amps, for a clear digital PCM audio stream. Thus the name Toslink which originated from TOShiba-Link, and has since been adopted by most electronics manufacturers, as the standard for Optical Audio, sent over light waves (fiber optics), which are immune from RF interference from other devices or ground loops. And with the above mentioned distance limitation, it is best to use shorter cords if possible (not over 15') from your source to receiver.

One use that I have found to be indispensable is using these Toslink cables to link to an analog converter, to run digital sound from flat screen TV's or DVD players, through the converter, to several older model analog amps, which are still punching out incredible sound. So, if you are still using old analog amps with only RCA right and left channel plugs, you can buy a converter (Portta PETDTAP) to convert Optical and Coax digital signals to analog for input into old receivers. And since analog cords do not suffer signal degradation over long distances, you can use a short Toslink cable to the converter and then run as far as you want with your analog RCA cords, to an amp, without any problems.

Thank you Amazon Basics for providing affordable cables and connectors.

Finally, I Can Hear the TV Through My Speaker System Again!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable , along with an PETDTAT Digital Optical Coax to Analog RCA Audio Converter Adapter to connect my TV to my stereo speaker system.

Originally, I'd connected my 22 inch Sony Bravia TV to the sound system by hooking up the red & white analog audio cables between the corresponding red & white ports on the TV, and my Sony Stereo Receiver , and it was working fine. In fact with speakers scattered around the room, it resulted in GREAT sound from the TV, as well as the Sony Record Player and other audio components (which I don't have/can't find the Amazon link for) including my Sony 200 disc CD changer, and my Sony mini-stereo dual cassette tape deck with 3 disc changer that was almost like a complete "Surround Sound" system.

Unfortunately recently I'd had to squeeze behind the entertainment center (which houses the TV and other audio & vidio components) in order to adjust the position of my Mohu Leaf 50 Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna . I was trying to get a stable signal (which kept pixelating and going in and out) for a particular OTA channel ("Antenna TV") and while I was back there in that narrow space, I accidentally stepped on the audio cables (connecting the TV to the sound system) in such a way that it ended up bending/pulling the audio ports from its position & partially out of the TV. :(

Though I unhooked the cables and tried pushing those ports back into the TV, when I plugged the cables back into the ports, there was still no sound coming from the TV through the speaker system. Even when it was at FULL/MAXIMUM VOLUME, the sound was still barely audible -- like it was coming from a hundred or thousand miles away!

So I was going through my available options, first calling around to see how much it would cost to repair the TV (and finding out it'd be at least $90 minimum) and then trying to find out the prices to replace the TV altogether (not really possible since I'm partial to the Sony brand, and they no longer sell/manufacture small TVs like my 22 inch Sony Bravia -- and the smallest TV that they now sell/manufacture is 32 inch which is too big for space available). As I was considering the various solutions, I saw the digital optical audio port on the TV, and since the optical audio port said "Digital Audio Out" on the TV the same way that the no-longer-functioning analog RCA (red/white) port said "Audio Out", I thought the digital optical audio port would be a good substitute/alternative.

However, since, as far as I can tell, my Sony Stereo Receiver doesn't have any digital audio ports and only has the analog red & white inputs, I got a PETDTAT Digital Optical Coax to Analog RCA Audio Converter Adapter and used this AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable to connect the digital optical audio port on the TV (since the analog port is now non-functional thanks to my being so klutzy!) to this device, and then used an analog red & white RCA audio cable on the device's other end to hook it up to the analog ports on the stereo system.

Initially, though I followed the instructions to hook everything up, and the blue power light on the PETDTAT Digital Optical Coax to Analog RCA Audio Converter Adapter was lit up, there was still no sound coming from the TV through the speaker system -- and even when it was at FULL/MAXIMUM VOLUME, the sound was still barely audible. Even after trying various other inputs & outputs, it still didn't seem to work. So I got discouraged assuming that either the device or the Toslink cable was defective, or that there was a problem with my TV or stereo, and after a few tries, just gave up, and was planning to return both this device and the cable and just live with the decreased sound until I could either get the TV repaired, or find another small (under 25 inches) Sony TV somewhere (eBay, Amazon, Craigslist, etc.)

Then a couple days ago, I thought I'd give it one last try, and started fiddling around with it for a bit, including taking the clear plastic tips of this cable (which I wish I'd known beforehand -- that they'd either included that info in the shipment, or that I'd read the reviews) trying different audio AND video composite/component (the blue/green/red) and regular RCA (the red/yellow/white) inputs on the TV, and the various audio inputs on the stereo receiver. I don't remember exactly which input/connection it was that was any different from prior attempts, but suddenly it started working and the the TV sound was finally coming back through the speakers LOUD & CLEAR!

So in general, this is a pretty good cable. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wish I'd known that the clear caps on the ends of the cables were supposed to be removed. To the best of my recollections, I don't think that they gave any information about that, with this cable -- and I wish they had because might have saved me several hours of aggravation & anxiety, and many days of worry about what I'd do with & about my TV if I couldn't get the sound to work.

With that said, I'd have much rather preferred to give this item only a half star deduction (meaning rating the item 4½ stars) instead of 5 for the possible oversight of not letting buyers know that the tips can & need to be removed -- especially since its also partly my own fault for it not having occurred to me to read the reviews (where its pretty amply mentioned!) beforehand. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't half-star ratings so I either had to give it 5 stars (which I'm not so sure that it honestly deserves) or 4 stars. So I gave it 4 stars, though technically IMHO, it deserved another ½ star!

All in all, this is a GREAT cable. Although it took me awhile to figure out how to use it, now that I finally have, so far, it WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!!

Nice item, pretty reasonable price, all-around good buy!

**** 4 STARS!!!!

Be sure to take the end caps off!

These cables are excellent, as is the friendly cardboard box in which they are shipped.

The cable feels like high quality, is nicely flexible, and produces a sound quality that is crystal clear on my system.

Just be sure that you take the little rubberized tips off of each end before you try plugging them in. The cable should look like the product picture (no rubber tips) before you actually plug the ends in.

PS. I can't imagine anyone stumbling across this that doesn't know what they are for, but for those who are unsure of where these go... look for the little half inch or so square on your equipment that has a port which looks like the end of a barn (for lack of a better description). Of course, it could be turned sideways or upside down, so I will simply post a picture of an optical port for those who aren't sure.

AmazonBasics Optisches Toslink Digital - Kabel (1,8 Meter)

Reviewed in Germany on June 22, 2012

Verified Purchase

AmazonBasics hat mich mit diesem Kabel wieder mal von seiner Qualität überzeugt.

Das Kabel macht was es soll, ist preislich völlig in Ordnung und scheint hochwertig verarbeitet zu sein.

Im vergleich zu meinem anderen Toslink mach es einen stabilen Eindruck, ist aber auch bestimmt doppel so dick.

Die Stecker könnten evtl noch ein bisschen kürzer sein. Sonst alles prima!

Also von mir eine Kaufempfehlung!

Zur Verpackung und dem Versand:

Die Verpackung wie immer top!

Der Versand hat komischerweise beachtliche 5 Tage gedauert. (Sonntag bestellt und Freitag erhalten) Warum ist mir ein Rätsel!
