Mutec Optical Cable 3m

I purchased some branded toslink cables a while back. They were really thick and looked heavy duty. BUT, I had disconnection issues all the time because the optical ports on several devices cannot handle the weigth of the cable.

I replaced all the optical cables with this one and everything is back to normal. They are light, so they don't stress the optical ports, but the same time their material looks very durable.

I use them to connect an RME Digiface USB with Apogee AD16X + DA16X.

The cable is sleek and hides/blends well. It does feel a bit weird, you'll know what I mean if you buy it, however the connectors are solid and fit well and so far I've noticed no issues. So long as you don't plan on disturbing them every other day I see no reason why they wont last years.

I gave my ratings based on the fact it doesn't feel or seem like a 'quality' product, but it is a functional one and it is cheap so that'll do me.

Thin optical cable. One piece design, no loose contact sleeves. A bit stiff. 3m version is great alrounder. Not to long or short. Got Mutec cabling everywhere in my system for ADAT and S/PDIF.

Had some issues with other cables not clipping right. Never with Mutec. Perfect for fixed installations.

I use it to connect my Apollo to my Audient ASP 880 and within a year of using it, I've never had a problem.

Tested in a pro setup with RME DIGIFACE USB, PCIE USB with
external audiophile psu 5v => loss of transcient

I'm not an audiophile gaga and for sure these cables aren't enough for high end audio.
