Query: Buy a Cable Instead

The fit onto my optical cable was so tight that it was impossible to get it on all the way.In the end, I jammed the adapter onto the cable, and the notches on the cable's end still did not reach into the slots on the adapter.And while light shone through in a manual test, the cable did not work with my Creative X-Fi card. I suspect the adapter did not fully reach the transceiver inside the jack.Then I had to chew away at the adapter because it was now impossible to remove. When I finally got it off, my original cable was damaged from all the force.This cost me half an hour, 2 bucks, and an optical cable.Just buy an optical cable with one end standard, one end pointlessly miniature.
