    Excellent quality. The price is higher than it needs to be. Many popular brands inflate their prices for the brand. Consumers need to be awarre but most learn from experience.

    4' long cable, easy to plug in. Quality seems to be very good, feels very well constructed. Took me a while to get the audio working (forgot to disconnect the standard audio jack - Doh!) Very happy with the quality of the audio, significantly louder than it was before. Used to have the audio sent at 20, now it's set at 10.

    Purchased to connect DVD player to sound bar. Prior to purchase had to disconnect HDMI cord (cable box to sound bar cord) & plug DVD HDMI into sound bar & then undo it all to watch cable again. This cord allows me to hsve both devices connected simultaneously & just use the tv remote to switch from tv (HDMI 1) to DVD on the screen. Easy fix to an annoying issue!!

    I purchased a long cable to go from the TV to ADC on the stereo, the connector is a bit loose in the receiving socket which leads to noise. I had to support the weight of the cable to avoid problems - at this point it works fine. Other optical cable I use have tighter fit, no issues.

    New TV. New surround sound. What's this optical audio thing? Optical did wonders when they upgraded my internet, so it must be good. Gotta do this! Know those notices on products like, "Bolts not for human consumption."? Ever wonder who that's for? Welp! I think I found out ... Could not get the cable to plug into my TV! Wasn't going to happen, no way, no how! What thu ... ?! Went to the TV, and the sound manufacturer's sites. No help there. Still... there's gotta be a trick I'm missing ... Ended up on YouTube ... These cables need a BIG notice on the box! "Remove protective end caps before inserting." (DOH!!) Plugged in Very easily (without those little caps)! Sound is Amazing! 5 Stars Overall! I subtracted one star from "Ease of use", but that's on ME for not knowing any better. (Sorry!)

    I purchased this for a surround sound system that we bought during Black Friday. It was an inexpensive Samsung with a DVD player. This cord works great and produces better than the last cheap surround sound system that we had. Glad I went with this cord, and the length is perfect. Save your ties if you don’t need the whole 12’, I only needed 8’.

    This is my first buy of a Rocketfish - 8' Optical Audio Cable, and at first I was little bit skeptical. Then again, when I tried it out, it outperformed even the one that originally came with the product I it for. There could be many factors that are different, but what I observed is the cable has gold connectors at each end.

    Bought a Yamaha receiver w/bluetooth feature which was incompatible with an older Panasonic plasma TV. No sound to partial sound output. After days of researching, found the solution! Problem solved. Nice sturdy cables and competitive pricing.
