Others say...

"great price!"
I got this as a backup for a 3' optical cable i purchased in the same order, and i haven't needed to break it out yet. Considering that i got two cables (a 12' and 3') for under $10 and that a similar cable from Monster would have costed me over $30, i don't consider it a waste. Some customers have complained of high shipping costs when compared to the cost of the items shipped. This is only the case when buying one or two items at a time. If you buy multiple items (i purchased 2 optical cables, 2 s-video, a dvi cable, and a plethora of rca cables), it is worth it.

"It's...a cable"
It's a TOSLINK cable. Not much to say. Sturdy build, it works, gets the job done.

"No need for monster cables"
This optical cable is a bargain especially for 12' long. There's really no need to spend a ton of money on an optical cable such as the Monster cable brand. Either the digital bits go through or they don't and this cable does just fine transferring those optical bits into my receiver.

"Great cable, great price, low loss, excellent sound."
I used two 12 foot cables with a coupler for a 24 foot PCM connection between my satellite receiver and my home theater system. The Dolby 5.1 is excellent.

"great cable and price"
Parts express shipped items quick and the optical cable works great. Better sound than RCA cables.
