    Non-standard base prevents use

    The rocketfish optical cable features a non-standard base (the silver part behind the connector). While it does look good, it prevents use in many standard optical connectors. The Insignia optical cable on the other hand is more standardized and fits easily. Honestly, there is no performance/technical benefit to purchasing this more expensive (or any other) optical cable. Fiber transmits using light: the quality of the cable, insulation, or even expensive metal contacts will not change the speed of light or improve the "quality" of the connection. Save your money.

    Cables are great. Shipping not so much. Took two weeks and two phone calls to get the cables.

    The plastic housing on either side is to big for the slots in my Bose receiver. So any movement causes it to pop out of its slot.

    As optical cable, the sound quality remains in the average... price was also not really fair compared to the quality.

    I’m not sure if the sometimes mild audio coming from my sound system is due to these cables but they work just fine.

    Can't really attest to the quality of the cable. The TV did not put out the optical signal to add the sound bar.

    Lock tabs suck

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased the shorter cable first and returned it due to the lock tabs not holding it in place in my JBL sound bar, purchased the longer one so I would have enough cable to tape it in to the sound bar since it also had poorly designed lock tabs. Had to stay with rocketfish brand as it was all that was available at the time at bestbuy.
