The AP081 Performance Series digital fiber optic cable delivers the highest possible performance from audio equipment.

Customers are satisfied with the sound quality of the electronic cable. They mention that it sounds good and makes their DVD player surround sound.
Flexible cable, secure plugs and it has worked flawlessly. Good price as well. Not utilized in a performance audio application. The toughest part of using this cable is ordering it and opening the box
I just received a couple of these cables and hooked them up. They are not as fancy or robust as the more expensive cables I bought at Best Buy with my receiver, but they seem OK and work fine. As far as sound quality goes, my experience with digital cables like these or HDMI is that they either work perfectly or they don't work at all.
I purchased this item in order to replace an existing Toslink cable that was stiff and unable to be positioned in the tight space on our new air track bar. Once I saw AR sold one I assumed it would be a quality product. This cable is thick and protective yet flexible. The look and feel did not disappoint. It even has gold plated tips surrounding the lens. I replaced my old cable and this unit fit perfectly. The added strain reliefs on the male ends provided just the right amount of support. This is a quality product from a quality company. You cannot go wrong for this price. One note of interest is this cable is EXACTLY 3 feet long from tip to tip. You may want to make sure you get the correct size since some cables are measured by wire length alone.
Based on numerous positive reviews, I decided to purchase the Acoustic Research AP080 Toslink (optical) cable and I'm very happy with it. Quality of materials/construction is very good and the connections are very secure. Definitely recommended!
No matter what they tell you or who makes the fiber optic cable... They all will sound the same bc Toshiba has the patent on it anyway. So in order to sell it as a Toslink it has to follow some guidelines just as any other cable. I got this one bc it wasn't so pricey as other name brand products and the product quality is great and the same for the audio as well. I use this for my Definitive Tech speakers.
I've got a couple of Monster optical cables because that's what the local stores carry. But when you think about it, it's a digital signal and just about any optical cable ought to be able to carry the signal without dropping bits. Sure enough, this cable is much cheaper than the same thing from Monster and works fine.
