Negative Positive
Title: Optical connection works, mechanical - not so much.
Review: Well, it does pass the signal, which, given the length and supposedly inferior quality of the fiber (melted down plastic bottles, judging by the price?), is an accomplishment. That's the good news. The bad news is that it just does not snap securely into the socket like it is supposed to do and like any other optical cable I used before did. As the result, the cable keeps falling out, which fact is especially annoying when used with the downward-facing sockets in tight places (like the ones found on the back of flat screen TVs.) Be sure, it happens with the connectors on both ends of the cable, and it is definitely not a socket issue as other cables I used with the same sockets work just fine. In theory, I would have returned it with a zeal; in practice though don't think it is worth the hassle - all thanks to a strip of duct tape that keeps this marvel of craftsmanship reasonably secured.
