the sssnake Optical Cable 5m

The product is looking good, but unfortunately, the plug is not designed to fit sturdily into my equipment, leading to an unstable connection that makes it impossible to achieve a stable connection. At first I did not understand why things did not work, thinking my equipment was faulty, but after swapping to an older optical cable I had lying around then things worked flawlessly.

The metal connector on these is usually too tight to fit in the port, and I have to use quite some force to push it in. I've had port replaced on some unit because of this, and I'm afraid to do it again. On another occasion I've used a tool (file) to reduce the connector's size. Maybe a plastic connector is more flexible.
