This pipe dream does not work. You are better off converting the optical signal with a low cost converter that changes optical to coax. It cuts the optical signal too much, just as you would expect. It will not work for me, drops in and out, not at all useful. Optical maximum distance is about 35 feet from my experience and splitting the signal at either the end of this length or the beginning was a total failure either way. It's as cheap as the price indicates.stay away from this poor idea.
Also, one of the optical cables I purchased did not fit and kept falling out. It only take one input and splits it into two.
Currently the only way I could use it for one or the other was to manually switch the Optical cable from the back of the headset's receiver. I wanted to avoid doing anything manually so I was hoping I could use this component as others around the web have stated they could do.
I have two gamings systems for which I use an IR gaming headset. THIS IS NOT TRUE.
This does not work that way. People will say it will work as long as you only have one optical cable active at a time.
It won't work the other way around. I tried different cables and it seemed to be an issue with this device.
Purchased splitter to share an optical input in my Yamaha receiver for my 360 and PS3. It doesn't work - the signal can't make it through. Don't buy it.
I could see the light shining through, but neither of the audio devices were able to produce audio from the light that was split off to them.I also tried going the other direction (two different devices going to one audio output), with the intention of using it as a passive switch (as long as only one of the devices was on, it should play sound from that device, but if both devices were on, there would be overlap and the audio stream would be garbled or nonexistent). I ordered this fiber optic splitter with the intention of splitting a fiber optic audio feed to two different devices. Did that work. Did it work. Nope. Nope. Sure didn't.So, to summarize, this device is completely useless.
Everything works well with just the stright through calbes. Kills the signal so much, the reciever doesn't even see it. But no matter what you do with a optical signal. It's about a shade of pink on the other side. I am hooking this up to a PS3 and DVR to a JBL reciever. It chokes all the time. Best of to convert to digital coaxal cable or worst off to buy a new reciever.
