Google is your best friend when learning more about many, many things in general.       <== extremely important, write it on your forehead if you have to, lol
Take a look.
And that specific cable has two different connections in order to connect one device that uses one of those types of connectors to another device with the other one.  Correct me if I'm wrong, I think that devices that use the mini-TOSlink connection are generally recording devices.

Thanks. I understand what the cable is used for. I was hoping people would pick up on something else on this product.

Corrosion resistance, not transmission, duh.

Well then, it looks better.

It's a dirt cheap cable anyway, it doesn't matter how they pimp it out as long as it does its job without a hitch.

LOL yeh true that. But their are companies out there that advertise the gold plated ends as a way of better signal transmission - expensive cables too.

Very undoubtedly it will start corroding as the end piece will be inserted into a plastic optical out mold. Even if you lived in a saturated humid environment but I guess it can reduce the effects of corrosion but when audiophool companies start advertising it enhances the sound transmission (which has no effect whatsoever) than you know their is something very wrong.
