C2G/Cables to Go 40016 Velocity Right Angle Toslink Port Saver Adapter, TAA Compliant

I know that the optical sound cable is a rarely used sound output option. But I found myself in one of the rare occasions with a wall mounted television. That meant that there was not much space between the wall and the the optical port. It more than likely would result in damage to the cable and or port, if I even could get it connected. This part eliminates all that and I was able to connect my cable with easy. There is no drop in sound when using this part. It is an easy fix to an otherwise big problem. If you have a low profile wall mounted television, with an optical audio cable connection, then this part is a necessity for you.

So I purchased a 2023 Samsung QLED TV & these TVs are getting thinner, which means the port spaces are as well & guess what, my standard optical cable did NOT fit b/c of the tight spacing b/t the port itself & the TV. I had no choice but to order this adapter (note that the optical cable is just a regular one you can get from monoprice or w/e, nothing fancy) & thanks to this adapter, I can use my cable again. HIGHLY recommend buying one of these if you get a new TV that's QLED/OLED just in case you run into the issue I did.

Did what it's supposed to.

I needed a right angle adapter to fit the tight space between my TV and the wall mount, but this adapter was too thick so it still didn't fit. When plugged in, the adapter still protrudes nearly 3/4 inch. It seems to me they could have designed it with a lower profile. Fortunately Amazon agreed to give me a refund.

It works perfectly. The only thing is that you need to push it really hard to lock the connection until you hear a click sound. The angle is perfect and it definitely saves a lot of space for you.
