ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic cable is provided with connectors at terminal ends thereof. 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.
