    So far these cables have provided clear audio with no issues. Really like the length it allowed me to use. A lot less expensive than many others. Using these with a receiver and digital tv. Works really well.

    I needed to move a sound bar down two shelves and to the front but the stock cable was too short. This cable gave me plenty of slack to move the sound bar to wherever I want it and the sound quality was excellent. I would highly recommend this cable.

    Strategically placed a sound bar at a much greater distance above TV with this 12 foot digital optical cable. Nice length to work with to improve surround sound.

    Bought this because I needed a longer cable since my TV is in the wall and my box is way down below. Works as it should and I have experienced no clipping

    The beauty with having this is that I was able to use this as the connection for my sound bar with my tv without using another HDMI cable. And the quality of the sound did not suffer with this. The cable seems sturdy as well. And finally, with it's price, it actually provides great value for what I needed. If you are in the lookout to just adjust all your connections with your gadgets with your TV, the Insignia Digital Optical Audio cable is the right product for the job, especially if your TV has few HDMI cable slots. This will help maximize the capability of your TV for connections.

    The optical cable is 12' and twice as long as the 6" I was using. The longer length was of great help. The price was fantastic. Thank you Best Buy!
