Has anyone bought this pack? I can't find too much information on it, but I need a 12ft optical cable, and I have a feeling that it wouldn't include that long a cable.


Also, for someone using the optical cable, how does it work? Is that jack a regular audio jack with the laser diode underneath?

I just got the cable pack. The two audio cables are each only two meters long. Yes, the optical one is diode-inside-mini.

I purchased the connection kit, but don't have it in front of me. But there is no way the optical cable is 12ft. Can't help on connecting it, because I'm not using optical.

I described the jack in this thread. Note that there is no laser, it's a standard LED.
