The Rocketfish™ 4' Toslink Optical Audio Cable is a fantastic choice for anyone serious about getting the best audio quality from their home theater or sound system. The clarity this cable provides is exceptional, delivering crisp and pure sound that enhances every detail. I noticed an immediate improvement in sound quality compared to standard cables—no static, interference, or loss of quality.
The build quality is impressive, too. The connectors fit securely, ensuring a tight connection with my devices, and the 4-foot length is perfect for most setups, giving just enough flexibility without unnecessary slack. The cable’s design feels durable and built to last, which is reassuring when it comes to maintaining high-quality audio.
Overall, this cable is an affordable way to ensure you’re getting top-tier sound with no compromises. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-performance Toslink cable, the Rocketfish™ is definitely worth it!

There's not much to say about this cable. It's an optical audio cable that simply gets the job done. I have had no issues with it since I connected my soundbar, in terms of audio quality or audio/video synchronization. The only thing I would recommend is checking your audio needs before deciding to go with optical vs HDMI. Apparently, you may lose some functionality with regard to different sound modes and equalizer functions when connecting a soundbar, even if both products are from the same manufacturer. So, before you purchase ANY optical audio cable, do a bit of research regarding your TV and soundbar. I looked into it, and have decided to switch to HDMI, just as soon as I do the research and determine the optimal cable manufacturer and model.

This cord works great! I use it to connect my lg oled tv to my surround sound system. The immersion is great! When something flies from left to right on screen, the sound flies from left to right in my movie room. Highly recommended.

I have a JBL500 and works great. Audio output from my TV is channeled to my JBL speaker its super simple and intuitive I was having some issues with Bluetooth connecting to my phone and not the TV then I tried to use HDMI but my wife uses the switch and I dint want to manually swap cables. With the optical cable my JBL uses a different mode instead of Bluetooth or HDMI and it works in sync with my TV turning on and off and great sound also the switch which is plugged into my TV, its output is channeled to the speaker with this cable, so im super happy. MAKE SURE BOTH HAVE A slot for cable. If you don't have the problem I do then just use HDMI.
Thank you, DanielM, for the detailed and thoughtful feedback! It’s great to hear how well the Rocketfish 12' Toslink Optical Audio Cable is working with your JBL500 setup, especially in simplifying your audio experience and keeping everything in sync. Your insights on setup and compatibility are super helpful—thanks for sharing your experience and tips! Jeth | Rocketfish™ Support.

These Optical audio cable works on our old TV. The picture is just amazing, much better than with the HDMI cables alone. Our setup - HDMI attached to Cable & Optical Cable to DVD.
We didn't think it would make a difference, but it does.
We have old TV with 720 and it looks like 1080! Sharp and clear and sound is crystal.

This optical cable works exactly as expected and delivers excellent sound quality. The connection is strong and secure, and it instantly improved the audio clarity between my TV and sound system. There’s no interference or signal loss, and setup took just seconds. It’s well-built, durable, and does its job perfectly. For such a simple accessory, it made a noticeable difference in my overall audio experience. Highly recommend for anyone setting up a sound system.

I only buy rocketfish electronic components because of the high quality build versus the "free" cables that are provided from the manufacturers. I have rocketfish for my optic cables to HDMI - no issues at all! highly recommend.

4 feet was the perfect length and $20 the perfect price. Connectors snapped firmly into both components and it performs as advertised without issue. Even feels like a quality item. Why spend more when there’s no benefit?

I recently purchased the Rocketfish 25' Toslink Optical Audio Cable and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. The cable is high quality and provides excellent audio transmission - I can hear a noticeable difference in sound quality when using it versus my old audio cable. The length of the cable is also a major plus - it's long enough to reach all of my audio components without being too cumbersome. The connector is sturdy and fits securely in both my audio components and sound system. I highly recommend the Rocketfish 25' Toslink Optical Audio Cable to anyone in need of a high quality, long-length audio cable. It's a great value for the price!

Provides perfect sound to my old HDMI-less sound bar. Thicker cable makes me feel the fiber is better protected than the one that came with my sound bar.

When my new 4K TV was installed the ARC (Audio Return Channel) would not work. This was probably because my new TV is a different brand from my home theater equipment. This optical digital audio cable provides the best alternate audio connection between the TV and my 5.1 home theater and the surround sound works like a champ. I have read that a longer length of this type of cable does not affect sound quality and I need this 12 foot length to be sure the cable is not too tight when I move equipment. (If you have a DVR be sure to select Dolby Digital in the DVR's settings. Otherwise you might not get 5.1 sound.)

Optical audio is likely the best way to transmit state of the art sound from a video source to an older sound system has hat has optical audio but not HDMI. in this case an LG C9 to an old Yamaha Rv1 with an 8.1 speaker set up. Bass sounds from Netflix and Prime movies are once again shaking the room through a ML woofer and Anthony Gallo Nucleus speakers providing immersive surround sound. The 4’ length is great for connecting the cable box but a little tight for the screen connection so make sure you purchase the right length for your setup. These connected no issues and the packaging was earth friendly (no plastic). Bought two.

Does exactly what it was meant to do. Seems to be of good quality so far. Ive had it for about 6 months now. Using it to connect my hisense tv to my samsung sound bar. Initially I did not use this and there was a lag between what was on the screen and the sound that was coming out. Now that Im using this everything synced up perfectly.

I have a 20 year Samsung sound bar with wireless sub woofer. Great sound so I don't want to get rid of it. The problem, it's not blue tooth capable. I needed a long Optical cable and this did the trick. The sound is awesome.
Thank you for your feedback on the Rocketfish™ 25' Toslink Optical Audio Cable! We're delighted to hear that it has enabled you to continue enjoying the great sound from your 20-year-old Samsung sound bar and wireless subwoofer. It's wonderful that our product could enhance your audio setup. Enjoy the awesome sound! Jeth | Rocketfish™ Support.

So, I ordered the new TV from Best Buy and then realized I needed cables and connections to integrate it with our older DVD and stereo. I thought I'd order from Amazon, and did, but when I checked the order the next day it said it was going to take a MONTH to receive the order. CANCEL! Went online to Best buy and picked up the cables and new DVD player, picked it up an hour later and was enjoying excellent surround sound and my DVD collection in no time. Never uses this type of cable before, and was blown out of the water at how easy it was and how excellent the sound quality was. Skip AMAZON, got to Best Buy and get your stuff right away!
