Perform the following test - Get this cable and a monster cable, both around the same length. Compare the sound coming from each. Then, continue to buy the parts express cables, because you won't notice a difference other than the fancy packaging is missing and your wallet will be fatter. 12' OPTICAL TOSLINK DIGITAL FIBER OPTIC AUDIO CABLE
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.
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 so there isn't much to say other than it works, it was cheap and it's seen some abuse (getting pulled out and plugged in many many times, beer splilled on and around it, and its been moved multiple times) and is still passing light through it as great as ever.
Also, normally you would think that 6ft is long enough but I am really glad I went with a 12ft cable. - Optical Cable - Audio Cables - Optical - Toslink'
