Product Description:
Mediabridge Toslink Cables
The Toslink optical audio connection carries a digital audio stream using a fiber-optic cable. This Mediabridge Toslink Cable is perfect for whenever you need to connect audio devices, such as a CD or DVD players to a receiver or preamplifier.
In home-theater applications, you can use the Toslink connection to send a Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack to an audio processor or A/V receiver for surround-sound decoding.
Since Toslink uses fiber-optic cable, it is free from distortion caused by electrical or magnetic interference that an electrical cable would incur. The result is an audio signal that is purer, as well as truer to the original recording.
Quality Construction
This Mediabridge cable features a durable, PVC outer layer, and a durable buffer tubing that resists corrosion and offers optimal signal transfer.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
This Mediabridge cable is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. If you should need assistance with your Mediabridge cable, contact our customer service department between 8am and 5pm Eastern. | | | | |
Average Rating : 
Rating :  - As others have found, this cable does not fit correctly
Judging from the diametrically opposed reviews of this cable, Mediabridge either ships cables from different manufacturers, or their quality control is very bad. Like others, the cable I received does not fit correctly and falls out of the jacks. Yes, I removed the plastic caps--the caps are not the issue.
I tried connecting the cable to a Sony CD player, a Microsoft Xbox 360, a Behringer USB audio interface, and a no-name optical switch box. The cable does not stay connected to any of them.
I have optical cables on hand from three other manufacturers. A visual comparison of the Mediabridge cable to the other cables shows that the rectangular plastic portion of the connector is shorter than on the other cables, and the central metal cylinder is longer. I believe that this is the reason the cable falls out of the socket: the cylinder prevents the connector from seating deeply enough in the socket and the small ridges on the connector cannot engage with the depressions inside the socket. Hence nothing holds the cable in place.
It's too bad since the cable is very reasonably priced, but unfortunately it's nearly useless. I will not be buying any more optical cables from Mediabridge.
