Title: 1/8 inch optical adapter...Help
Post by: MarkE on May 03, 2006, 11:43:28 PM
I need to find an adapter for my toslink optical cable to the 1/8' in optical adapter or cable. I can order from petra, but kinda want to walk into a store and pick one up sooner.. Maybe use on friday. Hard enough for me to even find someone who knows what it is, let alone have one on the shelf. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Mark E

Radioshack should have  them stocked. I think I have an extra but unless you are in CA it probably wouldn't make it by Friday. If you still need one anyways shoot me a PM with your addy.

Just posted this in the Optical Cable question:

Not sure about your region or city, but the Rat Shacks near me in Raleigh have quit carrying most optical products, including the standard and heavy RS Optical Cables...

They still carry the Monster Opticals that are way over-priced, and they have the cable that has the swivel Toslink>1/8" adapter at each end...


This includes the Toslink>1/8" adapter.  Actually I was looking for this adapter when I found out RS was discontinuing their optical selection.

I bought out the entire stock at my local Radio Shack (about 8 of them I think). Things are so damn small that I envision myself losing them:-) Lemme know if you want one and I'll pop in the mail to ya.

Thaks for the relplies, I found a cable at Circuit City with them yesterday.. Youd think it would be an easier thing to find.
