Blue Jeans Cable's website states the following:
"While POF is in general rather lossy stuff compared to glass optical fiber, we prefer it for optical digital audio use because it's much more physically durable and because its aperture matches the spec for optical digital audio use, unlike glass fiber which is too small and must be used in bundles."

Can someone confirm or deny this. I'm trying to decide which cable to get. I was looking at just the cheapies that parts express has, these ones for $3.25:

Then I heard that glass was much better than plastic, so I saw these on Part express' website for $22.51:

But then I found out about BJC, and they want $13.75 which are plastic, but BJC claim that plastic is better than glass for audio.

Any help is appreciated

I read that to say what we already know. Glass is better but more fragile.

The bargain glass toslink cables are the fabled eBay and AudioGon glass. When you are ready to step up there are WireWorld, Van Den Hul and Nordost options each more expensive than the last.
