Optical Cable - Walmart
My a/v system is getting full and I need more connections between components, so for the first time ever, I need to use a fiber optic cable. Where to get one? Answer: Walmart! They have two versions. For $16 you get a 3 foot clear shielded fiber and for $22 you get a heavier duty thicker black shielded fiber. Problem solved.

Walmart : 3 ft for either $16 or $22 www.monoprice.com : 6 ft for $3.47 Decisions, decisions... ;-) Of course, you have to wait a few days to get the one from monoprice.

Or you could pay several hundred dollars a meter at the high end audio store!

Only in Canada, they only had Optical Audio cables meant for Xbox 360, which seem to work just as well as the $50 Futureshop version....
