wanted: optical cable

[Ashmore]

Hi

Does anyone have an optical cable lying about that they don't need? I want to hook up my tv to the caiman. I'm assuming they have a universal connector! ?

Can't find a spare, but you could try one of these for £5.82 delivered: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Belkin-Toslink-Cable-Male-Male-1m-Nickel-Plated-Black-/181042979550?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item2a2700a2de

Ah thanks Alex. Belkin stuff is ok I gather. (Incidentally re-reading my request it could be construed I was after a freebe, that wasn't my intention).

I'll order the belkin in a day or so unless soneone pops up with a 'better' one for not a lot more. :)

used to make opt , both glass and plastic , glass is a wee bit better , but prone to "splintering" if plugged and unplugged , plasic on the other hand is plastic , poundland , erm £1 per metre , been using a couple for years without issue

What length of lead are you looking for?

[Ashmore]

Thanks tam.

Oh about a metre Stan, though I could probably rearrange the rack and make do with 75cm.

I've got a 1m toslink cable in the draw, drop me a pm with your address and I'll stick it in the post for you.

Thanks Ian, you have a PM
