IVANKY Optical Audio Cable 10ft/3M Long Digital Audio Optical Cable for Soundbar, S/PDIF Toslink Fiber Optic Cord [Braided, Gold-Plated Connectors, CL3 Rated] for TV, Home Cinema, Xbox/PS4, Sonos

It gets light from the TOSLink/S/PIDF port on my TV to my AVR so I can hear television program, movies, youtube, etc. in glorious Hi-Fi amplified surround sound. This fiber optic cable is nicely constructed, fairly sturdy, has a good covering over the inner flexible cable, good connectors, and clicks into place with authority. Rubber caps connected to the cable by rubber leashes cover the fiber-optic ends when the cable isn't connected keeping them dust & debris free. I don't think these sorts of cables are particularly sensitive to interference due to lack of cleanliness (multi-mode fiber running a very short distance, like 2 meters), but its a nice touch anyways.If you've got audio that uses light traversing a standardized cable, like I've described above, then I have no trouble recommending you get one of these. It worked for me.

This cord is better quality than I thought it would be, and I use it for a sound bar with excellent results. I feel it's a good value for the money cables decently thick and it's really easy to plug in and it holds well.

Ok. Let’s be honest here… I was not at all prepared for the amazing performance of this product. Ivanky knocked it out of the park with this one!About me: I struggle to think of anyone more qualified to write this review than myself. A lifetime audio hobbyist, a Live Audio Engineer, Research and Development Engineer at CarCapsule USA, Cisco Certified Network Technician (CCNA[Icnd1]), and a Fiber Optic Specialist, where I have terminated, polished, and tested major networks like ABC, NBC, FOX, etc.Hardware: The hardware seems very solid. Simply push it in until you feel it lock into place. The connector snaps in firmly with no excessive play and this maintains proper alignment with the light signal.Having the dust caps tethered right to the cable was a bonus. I will invariably loose things like that if they’re not attached. Although I would have preferred that they didn’t travel the entire length of the cable.The stylish connectors brand the Ivanky name with class. I usually don’t necessarily consider the appearance of my AV conduits, but this optical cable looked so good attached to the back of my home theater system that I was tempted to turn it around so I could show it off!Performance: This was the first time I have ever used an optical conduit and to say the least, I was impressed. I was blown away by the brilliance of my Yamaha/Bose home theater system, and the difference the Ivanky optical cable made! I was finally able to hear the audio in three dimensions. It improvement was comparable to tube amplifier I used to have; and now I am considering replacing my IC amp with a tube amp for even more clarity.Just for kicks, I bought an optical cable for about $4 more than the Ivanky, from a very well-known electronics store just for comparison. I expected it to offer the same brilliance as the Ivanky. It did not. -It was flat, and dull; and was not as attractive, and sagged under its own weight when I plugged it in.Bottom line: I have some other components that I will be connect optically to my home theater system, and you can bet they will all be Ivanky. In fact. I just may outfit my entire system with Ivanky. Although, I’m not really expecting too much of a difference in audio quality with their copper cables. After all… Copper is copper. Right?I would definitely buy again. I would definitely recommend this product. Definitely!Pros: For the price, you really can’t beat this product. It comes with an unconditional lifetime warranty?? Wow!!Cons: I honestly could not find anything that I did not like. Ivanky gets 5+ stars.-Joseph C. Marshall
