Cable Solutions TOS-Series TOSLink Optical Cables are made with low-loss 5mm OD single-strand plastic fiber optic cable, precision terminated with high-quality all-metal connectors with integrated strain-reliefs to reduce stress on the fiber.
With attenuation of only 0.14 dB per meter, these cables actually out-perform many glass fiber cables, both optically and mechanically, making them an ideal choice for many digital audio applications, including Dolby Digital and DTS and CD audio.
Made to the same specs as those used on the respected Vampire Wire TOS Series II, our connectors are installed using a heat-set epoxy method to ensure high performance and long life. The fiber is meticulously polished using super-fine polishing film to ensure a superior equipment interface.
With such low attenuation, our TOS-Series interconnect cables can also handle longer runs, solving a wide range of optical audio hook-up problems.
Optical digital audio cables have an advantage over coaxial cables when it comes to ground preventing loops. Since the signal path is completely free of any electrically conductive materials, ground loops become impossible. Anyone who has experienced the way that ground loops can affect an audio system will appreciate this quality.

First Class Mail International
Economy service for items valued at under $200 and weighing less than 4 pounds. This is the least expensive international shipping option, but the savings comes at the expense of tracking - scanning

Keep in mind that eBay's transit time estimates are from the US Postal Service. The total transit time to your address can be affected considerably by circumstances in your own country, such as delays at your local customs office, or cases where no one is available to receive the delivery.
International customers should be prepared to pay import taxes and/or duties at the time of delivery. In NAFTA member countries, customs duties should be discounted for products that are made in the USA, but taxes may still be collected. Please be advised that we declare actual contents, value and country of origin for customs and insurance purposes.
No exceptions please.
