I was buying a toslink cable recently and I shit you not, there was a gold plated optical cable...

Fucking Toslink: one round optical fiber in the middle, but it plugs in in only one position out of four, and you can't feel which way the female connector is. EU should fine the assholes responsible.

Doesn‘t that defeat the entire purpose of Toslink cables ? The light can‘t go through gold?

The connector was gold plated. Not a golden wire.

I 100% believe you.
