Oh, do not apologize. That was meant as a compliment.

Kyle, it doesn't seem very useful to rely on arbitrary length limits for Toslink connections, since three factors are involved: the strength of the LED output in the sending unit, the attenuation of the light in the cable, and the sensitivity of the LED conversion process in the receiving unit. So, the same cable can have different results depending on the associated equipment. You might note that users reported success with the 35' MonoPrice cable . Yes, another option is to use the optical to coax converter that MonoPrice and others offer.
-----------------------------------
Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

My optical cables are from Blue Jeans Cable, as are most of my others. The reason I am using multiple cables is I have a built in cabinet for the entertainment center. I am running everything from the back of the center, through a wall to a four gang wall plate with keystone jacks to plug the TV, speakers, etc. into. I like the clean installed look.
I was surprised that two 4ft cables with a jack worked but a 9ft and a 4ft with a jack would not. It is starting to look like I might have to run a single cable through a modified keystone cover to get this to work. It won't look as nice but it should work.
