    Pretty much plug-n-play. Worked well to connect an older surround sound system to a newer Samsung TV set with the external connectivity hub. Let me amplify any audio on the TV via the older system and enabled Dolby Digital 5.1.

    This audio cable works great. I needed another audio connection from my tv to my audio/video receiver so I could have surround sound when streaming from my Roku. This did the trick.

    Provides decent sound from the TV to my receiver. Am still playing with the settings on the receiver because the HDMI and normal AV cords seem to produce better sound through the receiver. All in all, I'm happy with the purchase

    I hooked it up from a Denon DVD player to a Denon pma-800 ne Integrated Amplifier. No matter how long the fiber optic cable is, there is no degradation in the signal. The sound from the speaker is so clear and free of distortion.

    Rocket Fish optical cable is pricier than other cables but what you will get is a way better picture and sound quality than cheaper optical cables.

    I purchased a tv and surround sound system, I really felt this should have been included in the surround system, but it wasn't. So I had to purchase, but it is of good quality.

    I knew nothing about optical cables but, I took the advice of the Best Buy employee and purchased this product. It was slightly more expensive than other brands but, it was easy to install and is performing perfectly. Will definitely purchase again when the need arises.
