    All you can expect in optical cables

    So I was previously unaware that optical cables were a required need for our home TV system. Well the folks at Best Buy told me I needed them. So I did it. Having never bought them before, I have nothing to compare them to. Easy to use and they seem to do their job. I am grateful that my soundbar does not require me to use up a precious HDMI port now that I am using the all powerful optical cables, so that is good.

    These cables can be over-priced & don't differ a whole lot from brand to brand from what I can tell (if they are a good brand name of course). Already had a GE one & needed another & didn't want to spend a lot. I found this one on sale & bought it to hook up audio from my Blue Ray player to my semi-antique (circa 1999) stereo receiver via optical connection. Works like it was supposed to. Now I have 5.1 sound & loving it.

    I ended up taking this back, however, I've used Rocketfish cables in the past, and they've never disappointed. Good products with an awesome name.

    Bought a Samsung TV and Samsung Blu-Ray 3D player with 5.1 dolby digital surround sound. I wanted the BluRay to be connected via optical rather than HDMI. Geek squad took care of everything. Smartest money I ever spent was to have the Squad come in and set up everything and make sure it all worked with my Directv satellite signal.

    Simple to hook up to the Subwoofer Sound bar and television. The cable has enough length to move from one side of the television to the other side.

    10 times thicker than the flimsy optical cable that came w/ soundbar. Worth every penny at $7 on sale, audio doesn't fade in/out any longer.

    My original Bose optical cord with its super thin cord was chewed thru by my cat. This cord is thicker and works just fine with my Bose Solo TV sound system.

    What you get out of these cables depends on your overall electronics setup. If you are not using high end, you probably don't need to worry about getting cables like this.
