The connectors are configured to join TOSLINK compatible components together so that the cable can transmit an optical signal therebetween. A fiber of fused silica glass is provided with a plastic cladding material. Ball lenses are located at each terminal end of the fiber to enhance a signal intensity while maintaining signal quality passing through the cable and between the components joined together by the cable. | |
