Phillip Modafferi: No; all are toslink designed but varies amoung material and construction. The best optical cable on the market is the Lat International's OP-10. Optical cables doesn't shield and carry audio signals better than coaxial cables.There's no analog optical cable; they only carry digital audio signals. If you want the best audio signal path and blockage from electromagnetic interference, then coaxial cables are the way to go....Show more
Sheldon Lally: JSY above me has the right idea.All optical connections are universal as the world has adopted the S/PDIF standard. Just make sure you're really talking about digital Optical and not digital Coaxial.
Tawny Grosskreutz: A cheapie toslink cable shall serve the purpose. Just remember not to touch the ends or drop or kink the cable since it might damage the fire optics. Unlike what the person above me said about being shielded, a fiber optical cable doesn't need to be since it relies on light and not! an electrical signal Maybe if the cable was clear it might pick up light from other places. Those monster cable super shielded optical cables are the biggest scam ever. I think they advertise even having 'gold connections' or something totally pointless like that on them. That only makes a difference in signal cables like HDMI, Component, Composite, Coaxial, etc etc....Show more
Peter Lapoint: I am talking about digital optical, but I am not ruling out digital coaxial cables either. When does it matter when I'm using either cable as far as audio quality goes?
Ellis Cellar: i'm not a big fan of optical leads as i find they might work there way loose when a equipment is bieng moved.coaxel is a very tight fit.if u r after 5.1 6.1 or 7.1 surroud sound these r the leads 2 go 4.also i cant remember hearing of a tv with these connections on it.
