Q: Will this cable work on a Bose Solo Sound System?
A: Worked well on a Soundbar, if a optical output on tv is available, and on the Sound System, give it a try!
A: There is more to unpack here than just a simple question. Optical cables are intended to just directly pass the digital data from one location to another using light. Can't get much faster than light, so... No, USB is not "faster" than Optical. And distance is also not an issue, but in most Home Theater environments, not really an issue for USB either. Optical cables are more fragile than USB cables, and the ends must be handled delicately as the light needs to not have any cracks or blemishes on the surface, which would prevent the signal from reaching the intended receiver. A digital signal is a digital signal, the use of optical over USB would depend more on the equipment available - Most TV monitors, sound bars, and HE equipment use optical for the size of the connection. USB tends to be more computer based.
Q: How does the cable attach to the tv and sound bar
A: There is a "jack" for this to plug into. It has a "push-in" cover over it. I just pushed the cable into the TV & then to my BOSE sound box.
A: Hi there, In your case, I would highly suggest to use HDMI cable. Gem Rocketfish Products
A: No, this is a completely different cable and connection and will not work in a 3.5mm auxiliary port.
Q: So I have a Visio tv and a Sony sound bar. Will this be compatible?
A: As long as both the tv and sound bar have the optical cord ports it should work fine.
A: Yes. Mine is in the wall.
Q: Are optical cable connectors standard?
A: Yes, this is a standard Toslink Optical Audio Cable.
