| Question: How many strands of fiber are in the optical cable? |
| Answer: One solid strand |
| Question: Will this item work on my PlayStation 3? |
| Answer: That item has been tested and confirmed to work perfectly on the PlayStation 3 |
| Question: The connector doesn''t seem to fit the port on my equipment. Did I purchase the wrong size or type of cable? |
Answer: Probably not. Most consumer electronics use the same type of toslink connector for digital optical connections.
Look at the tip of the connectors on your cables. It should have a shiny, gold metal tip. If it is a milky, white plastic tip, pull it off. That is the dust cap used to protect the lens during shipping. It should now easily snap into the port on your equipment.
If it still doesn''t fit, make sure the orientation is correct. One side of the connector is bevelled so they will only fit one way. |
| Question: What's the difference between 5.0mm and 8.0mm and how do I know which size to get? |
| Answer: The measurements are of the outer diameter of the cable body itself. It does not affect the connectors. Either will work and the cables are interchangeable regardless of it's thickness. The thicker bodies cable are more durable, better looking and come with a protective nylon mesh outer covering. |
Question: Are your Toslink Digital Optical cables plastic or glass? Is one better than the other? |
Answer: All our Toslink cables are POF (Plastic Optical Fiber).
For most audio systems, you should not hear any difference between a plastic optical cable and a glass quartz optical cable unless your are at lengths exceeding 100 feet and transmitting at extreme bandwidth levels.
In fact, the performance with plastic has been improving because the Opto-electrical Components (used in Audio Equipment) are designed to interface with POF fibers.
