TOSLink Cables

[harleydude]

I am in the process of looking for a TOSLink cable to connect my audio server to my living room A/V receiver. The distance will require a cable of 50 feet. Does anyone have any experience using a TOSLink cable to cover this distance? Any recommendations on source for this cable as well?

Thanks
Rick

I just bought a 45 foot and a 40 foot toslink cable from Blue Jeans cable. They work great.

I have been very satisfied with Monoprice as well. I bought DVI and RCA cables as well as a plasma wall mount.

Add another vote for www.monoprice.com.

I use a 30 foot toslink cable to connect a computer in one room to a receiver in another. Or, rather, I did until I disconnected it a few weeks ago. Absolutely no problems with that length - it's really two shorter cables spliced together which won't be as good as one.

The cable I've been using did not come from monoprice, but I do have a 3-foot cable from them that seems to be pretty good quality. I've purchases quite a few other types of cables from monoprice (hdmi, vga, component, ...)
