The optical audio cable is commonly known as standardized optical fiber connection system. It is mainly used in consumer audio equipment, where it is carrying a digital audio stream from components such as MiniDisc, CD and DVD players, DAT recorders, and modern video game consoles, and more, to AV receiver which can decode the stream of audio and output through a set of loudspeakers. This cable is best known for supporting many different types of media formats and physical standards, digital audio connections with the help of rectangular EIAJ/JEITA RC-5720 connector. Commonly the wavelength used is around 650 nm. Customers are finding optical audio cable more useful in different occasions. If you want to use it for home theater surround sound connection then can be done in two ways. Firstly, Coaxial RCA, and secondly Toslink. The cable and connectors in coaxial rca is about 75 ohm impedance and used for connecting DVD players, Compact Disk (CD) and certain DAT recorders to multichannel surround sound (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc) equipments. Whereas toslink is a fiber optic version of the coaxial digital audio connection having the same functionality as coax. But most of the new equipments have Toslink optical connection now.

Moreover technical details of these cables must be important to have so that can escape the chance of cheating. Some of the technical details of these cables are delivers better audio clarity and a more natural-sounding midrange with the help of superior-grade optical fiber, offering maximum durability and lowest-possible loss with the help of high-performance cladding, minimizing loss loss for better high frequencies and a much more realistic stereo image using precision-polished optical terminations, and also features precision-molded, corrosion-resistant connectors for superior connection and extended life, and much more. All these informations help you in identifying the right and qualitative optical audio cable in the market.

Its very obvious that if you are not having proper knowledge then must be getting confused while choosing process of optical audio cable.

If we are talking about long lengths meaning it should be between 10-20 feet, and then have to upgrade the POF conductor to higher grade acrylics, and much more. All these aspects needed to be known before heading for usage.
