Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Two-pack provides a spare cable or covers a multi-component setup at a better per-unit value
- 15-foot length accommodates setups where components are spread across a room or mounted on a wall
- Metal connectors are more durable and provide a more secure connection than standard plastic plugs
- Optical transmission is immune to electrical interference, ensuring clean digital audio
👎 Cons
- Optical Toslink cannot carry uncompressed high-resolution surround formats like Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio
- 15-foot length may be excessive for compact setups, and excess cable needs to be managed carefully to avoid sharp bends
- Toslink connectors lack a locking mechanism, so they can be pulled out more easily than HDMI or coaxial connections
- Fiber optic cable is more fragile than copper — sharp bends or kinks can damage the internal fiber and degrade signal
