    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!

    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.

    Never used an optical audio cable but am familiar with the Rocketfish brand. Took a few to figure out how to get it to work with my TV + Roku + Xmuo to stereo set up. Once done great surround sound. Glad I chose this cable. Eliminates all the extra audio/video and HDMI cables. Get the extra length ... so helpful in positioning equipment.

    The sound on my TV was not very good especially on dialogue I could not understand what they were saying. This optical audio cable now allows the sound to come from my Bose sound bar. Well worth the upgrade from TV speakers.

    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.

    I connect my tv to a Logitech 5.1 sound system. Its a cable, so what I can say it is works very well, no issue of fit in either the TV or sound system. I wondered about being 25 feet long whether there would be a sound quality issue, as it still coiled up, but no works great. I recommend because it gives me the flexibility to plug in my computer that is 15 feet away, or TV that is right next to the sound system.

    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.

    Perfect extension cable for wall mounted TV's

    I was mounting a new TV on the wall and needed a long optical audio cable to connect to the soundbar. I've used Rocketfish products before and know they're quality items. I was pleased to see the cable comes with protective caps on the fiber ends, which eased my mind because I had to pull the cable thru fiberglass insulation to get from the TV to the soundbar. I've had this cable in use for about a month now, and it performs flawlessly.

    Great product, worked well in the conversion process from the optical port on my 55' flatscreen to an adapter/converter to connect an older RCA sound system. Cable length is plenty long and shilding is thick unlike the cable provided by Viso, the sound bar manufacturer that I was previously using. End to End connection on this optical cable is spot on. No wiggle or play once docked into the port. I like the larger thicker ends as it makes docking and undocking a breeze, I struggled to get the tiny ends of the old optical cable out the TV.. at the time of this writing I'm a month in and haven't had any issue.

    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.

    These optical cables enabled me to connect my new soundbar to my old Samsung ('08) with no ARC port. Great sound and the 12 feet was a nice, safe length. The cost was also very reasonable.

    The Rocketfish™ - 8' Toslink Optical Audio Cable - Black is really nice, I can hear my music through the cable nice and crisp. Its easy to set up, and the cable is quite long so it reaches a good length. I really like how clear my music sounds with this connected ro my home theater system. My TV also sounds really nice because I also have that connected with my home theater system. Really nice optical cable.

    Using this for audio output to my Logitech Z5500 speaker system and this does the job perfectly. Crystal clear audio, easy connection and good quality cable sheath. The construction of the unit feels quite solid, no flimsy plastic here. Was also able to use it with my original Xbox to boot!
