Rocketfish™ - 8' Toslink Optical Audio Cable - Black

It is really hard to review this kind of cable, First, you take it out of the package -- easy. Then you unfold it, followed by taking the little protective caps off. plug one end into the TV and the other end into the soundbar. Then make the sound output of the TV be digital. followed by making the audio source on your soundbar Digital. Done! Enjoy your TV sound on your soundbar. OK, OK, there is nothing said about the product -- it's an optical audio cable. There is nothing to say. You need one and are willing to pay for it -- buy it!

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.)

I purchased a Rocketfish Optical Cable for the Mini Soundbar that I purchased for my kitchen TV. I have a Rocketfish Cable on my BOSE sound system in the living room and that cable fixed my problem there. When I hooked up this cable to my kitchen TV, the sound cuts out and I have not yet isolated whether it is the soundbar or the cable. Using this cable, I was able to get the soundbar to work as the cable that came with the soundbar does not produce any sound on the soundbar. The price is a little high, but I purchased it with Christmas money so I bought it.

I couldn't get the Amazon and Netflix audio to transmit through my surround sound speaker system. I called Geek Squad and they suggested I watch it through my "Smart" dvd blu ray player, which worked. But then that stopped working so I bought and installed the Rocketfish Toslink Optical Audio Cable and problem solved. Everything works great. The installation was so easy - just plug it in the respective port on the tv and receiver and you are set - good to go!

I recently purchased a Samsung QLED 65 inch TV. My audio receiver is an older Yamaha A/V that does not support HDMI CEC communication with the new QLED TV. The next best choice is an optical connection for audio between the two. To say the least I was very surprised and impressed with the HD Dolby sound being sent through this optical cable. I feel there is no difference in sound quality between this cable and an HDMI connection

This was used to connect the Optical Port on the Wireless Receiver Base for my RF Headphones to my HDTV. The cable is nice and sturdy and while I had slight difficulty getting it into my TV at first, some firm force got it in for good. The length is perfect for and is what seems to be most important in this product. If your device of choice is going to be far away from your source, you may be better off buying the 8' or 12' version of this product.

I need a fair number of optical cables for my TV and gaming set up and so I have bought more than my fair share of optical cables over the years. Quite recently, I needed a longer 12 foot cable after an old one failed and so I bought this Rocketfish 12 foot optical cable. Its the second one I have bought and neither has disappointed. The quality is very good and the price is fair. Buy with confidence!

I upgraded to everything 4k, my TV and receiver and all other components. I got everything home and hooked everything up to my older hdmi cables. The picture did not look as sharp as it did in the store. I went back, got these cables, hooked it all up again and you can see a difference. I was thinking these cables were a scam for more money but they actually do improve the quality of the picture. Bite the bullet and upgrade the cables too when getting new 4k equipment.
