Title: where can i find an optical cable...
Post by: dave C on May 04, 2006, 02:36:40 PM
i lost the cable i use to connect my jb3 to my UA5. I need a cable that has the "squarish end" and a "1/8 inch" type end. I bought the old cable at radio shit yrs ago but now they don't sell them. I don't even know how to properly discribe this cable so any help on what it is called would help along with a place to buy it would be even better. Thanks for the help in advance.

Toslink to Mini optical cable. This link may work, or else just search at mcminone.com:

I don't remember the cost (maybe ten bucks?), but I got mine at Radio Shack...

THANKS FOR THE HELP!!! the linked worked perfectly and i just completed my order.  :D Now maybe i'll buy some new xlr cables, mic stand, and shock mounts. When i first bought all this stuff i was cheap about it but now that stuff can be backup. Any suggestions about cables, mic stand and mounts would be great.

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...

I just got back from circuit city. They had one by GE of all people, near but not next to the other cables (monster).
Stopped at 3 other places and got the "Deer in the headlights" look form the kids behind the counter.. Not as easy to find as I thought.
