Dann-Oh 40 Posted October 24, 2022 I have ordered this cable from amazon, it works pretty good but I prefer the coiled cables. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TosLink cable will work fine, and they are cheap. However, they are more fragile than multi-core cables. Multi-core will be able to bend more without breaking internally and thus reducing transmission of the signal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They actually sent me a bit more than what I paid for. I made several sets of cables in both 1m and 1.5m lengths. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Switchblade 1 Posted November 1, 2022 I use the fiber optic cables sold at the TV/Audio shops. They have never failed on me. Using them on a S&S housing with D2 strobes and Fantasea with Backscatter strobe. Even used 2m length for off camera steobe positioning. Different end caps I bought from Divervision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
