Toslink/optical cable recommendations

"without fracturing the way glass-based cables might" um, yeah...

Not sure what your point is, Dweller, but I sense some sarcasm. I note, btw, that the glass cable Kijanki referred to specifies a minimum bend radius of "only 50 mm (about 2 inches)." I have no way of knowing exactly what the corresponding figure may be for the non-glass Analysis Plus cable I suggested, but having worked with that cable I suspect it is a good deal smaller than 2 inches, if it has any practical limit at all. And I note that AP’s description states that "unlike glass, it will not microscopically fracture when flexed."

If you can shed further light on the issue in a constructive manner I’m certainly willing to learn.

As a point of information, the glass cable Kijanki referred to, that has a specified minimum bend radius of "only 50 mm (about 2 inches)," is described as being "constructed from 280 individual strands of glass for maximum flexibility," which is only about 17% fewer than the 338 strands used in your Wireworld cable (for which no specification of minimum bend radius is provided).

Thank you for the clarification of your previous response. Regards,

I can’t imagine that anyone wouldn’t appreciate that a glass anything might be more likely to fracture than a polymer one. Although ‘anything’ does open up the possibilities.
