I recently purchased the AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable (9.8 Feet) to connect my TV to my soundbar, and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance and build quality. What I Liked: Durable Construction: The cable feels solid and well-made. The connectors fit snugly without any wobble, ensuring a secure connection. Excellent Sound Quality: There’s no noticeable loss in audio quality. The sound is crisp, clear, and immersive. It easily handles high-definition audio without any dropouts or interference. Generous Length: At 9.8 feet (3 meters), this cable is perfect for setups where you need a bit more reach. It gave me the flexibility to position my devices exactly where I wanted them without any strain on the cable. Affordable: Compared to other brands, this AmazonBasics cable offers exceptional value. You get high-quality performance without breaking the bank. Considerations: Basic Packaging: The cable comes in simple packaging. While this didn't bother me, it might matter to those who expect premium presentation. Rigid Cable: It’s a bit stiff out of the box, so if you need to make tight bends or navigate a complex setup, you might need to work it into position a bit more carefully. Overall Impression: This Toslink cable from AmazonBasics is a fantastic option for anyone looking to upgrade their audio setup without spending a fortune. Its durability and performance are top-notch, making it a reliable choice for both casual and more demanding users.

Appears good,

Good product

Long lasting and durable.

The cable quality from the looks and inhand feel is very good, sturdy. But there is noticeable difference in sound quality with other branded cable...its not bad for normal listening, but i felt like i missed that hifi element when tested with my sk02 dac amp.

** Fit & Finish ** ● The cable is compact, flexible and is slightly rubbery in hand which gives a premium feel ● I purchased the 6 feet cable ● It comes with end-caps to keep the tips clean when its not plugged in ● There is Amazon Basics printing on the connectors ** Performance ** ● I use this to connect my TV to Sound System; Samsung 5300 40' TV to Philips 5.1 system ● My TV Optical Out is TOSLINK and Sound System Input is S/PDIF (all which I understood from their User Manuals; but there is no difference in their physical appearance. So, I believe it's the technology used) ● Plugging in and out is easy; there is no complications involved ● The physical connections were firm and good ● I am receiving 5.1 Dolby/ DTS audio into the Sound System and I see that everything is fine around the sound quality ● The cable does not seems to get tangled up due to the rubbery and flexible build ** Value for Money ** ● The cable has served my purpose, and it feels to last long ● For the price Rs.270/- which I paid in Nov-16, its value for money for me.

Good quality

First of all, this is a optical fiber cable for digital signal. You don't need to worry about interference though length is matter. A digital signal consist of 1 and 0. Transmitting end sends digital signal (1 and 0) and receiving end receives digital signal and convert into analog signal(i.e sine wave). So, extra shielding not needed here. If you looking for good sound quality then you go for any cheaper option. Quality will be same. Though extra shielding, thick rubber insulation can protect fiber strand from harsh mechanical forces. And this cable has a good thick rubber insulation. One thing I think worth mentioning that TOSLINK is based on S/PDIF(Sony/Philips Digital Interface). It first came in 1983. It is a very old technology for Audio CD PCM streaming. It doesn't support lossless format, due to it's bandwidth limitation. Supported and Non supported formats are listed below Supported PCM Stereo Dolby Digital 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 Non Supported DTS-MA(Master Audio) DTS (Digital Theater Systems) Dolby Atmos DT:X Dolby TrueHD Non supported formats send trough PCM format..If your receiver supports it can be converted to DTS/DD. So, overall the product build quality is good. It has thick rubber insulation. If you looking for sturdy cable then go for it. And if looking for sound quality then go for any cheaper option. Hope this will helpful to you.
