    The optical plug on this cable was too large to fit the device I was trying to use it for. Looked to me like a manufacturing flaw. Would have had to forced the plug into device and afraid of ruining both cable and device. Back to Best Buy.

    The fitting was not precise which made this cable inoperable. If you are going to try to save some money by buying a less expensive brand you will need to check it at the store to see if if works with your electronic equipment.

    I purchased this and had to return, i figured 4 ft would be enough to go from my TV to the bottom of my entertainment center where my AC receiver was... and i was wrong, way too short, ended up getting the 8 ft.

    I purchased this item because I was told that the product I was buying did not have the digital cord included which it did. I was pleased that it was so easy to return because it was a little pricey.

    The only reason I bought this was I was in a bind and wanted it now. I didn't want to wait to get one online from some other place for 1/4 the price that would work just as well.

    Sales clerk indicated that this cable was needed with the TV and sold us one...but we were able to install everything without this cable. We returned it for a refund.

    I used these to connect sound from the television to a Blu-ray player, but it was hard to tell when the cable ends were properly seated, and they came loose easily

    Too early to comment on durability but plugging the pins is a pain - you have to get the right combination like a safe locker for it to snap in place

    There's not much retention once plugged in and simple movement will unplug it. Might be why it was returned and resold as unbox discount.

    Thought I needed it. The LG sound bar came with one. So I returned this one. I'm sure it's good. A best buy employee recommend it.

    Good think LG knows what it takes to hook up old equipment to their TV, because the blue shirts at Rockwall sure did not.

    As with all optical cables they don't set very well. With a cord this short we could not get it to work very well
