Our take on the Phoenix Gold DTx.500 Series

These affordable optical cables from Phoenix Gold feature Toslink connectors with highly polished elements and gold-plated metal collars, providing clean digital audio transfer between compatible components. Optical digital cables pass audio signals in the form of light impulses, so they're virtually impervious to magnetic or electrical interference. Covered by Phoenix Gold's limited lifetime warranty.

Note: The standard Toslink connectors on these cables are compatible with full-size home A/V components (such as DVD players, CD players and recorders, and A/V receivers). Some portable digital recorders require mini-optical connections instead.

Features

General Overview: The DTx.510 is a 1-meter (3.28 feet) fiber optic digital cable with a flexible opaque black polyurethane jacket and Toslink connectors. It is from Phoenix Gold's Silver level series, which provides high end performance and build quality at an affordable price. It offers greatly improved performance over "in the box" cables sometimes provided with audio and video components.

DTx.500 Series: Phoenix Gold's DTx.500 Series (Silver level) Medical Reference-grade cables features gold-plated Toslink connectors and the highest quality elements, which results in a sonically superior cable. There is a molded strain relief surrounding the connector, which gives it durability and reliability.
