I would buy these again in a heart beat. No problems what so ever. The cable shown in the picture is exactly what I got. Works great, plugs in to everything great. Great product, fantastic shipping.
All in all a good experience. I would purchase from again without worries. Hooked up properly and securely (one end hangs from TV vertically WRT gravity, other plugs in horizontally WRT gravity). However, cable arrived in great condition. After the impulse buy i saw some people were having trouble with the cable fitting correctly into components. At first i purchased quickly without reading reviews as part of my new HTIB buy (Onkyo HT-S5200 7.1-Channel Home Entertainment Receiver/Speaker Package (with Dock for the iPod®) Black). This made me skeptical. Sound is great.
One day I was moving things around, unplugged the cable, plugged it in a few minutes later, and.my receiver gave an error indicating it couldn't understand the signal. In any case I installed it and it worked perfectly for about 6 months. So a word to the wise: if you get this, curl it in a relatively big 6" loop so you won't end up with the same problem I did. The cable arrived quickly and felt very high quality. It bends more easily and at a greater angle than most optical cables, which perplexed me since I'd read that fiber optic cables stop working if bent (see "numerical aperture"). I plugged in another cable and it worked fine.
I know other reviews say that this product might fit loose but I did not see this problem with the connection for my home theater and cable box. Will rate it A+
Connected mine from my TV to the receiver, now I truly have dolby 5.1 Surround when watching regular tv shows, instead of just stereo ( changed the red and white audio out to the optical cable). Does what a optical audio cable should do. Had mine in about 4 days for $2.99 from Eforcity, NO PROBLEMS.
