Anyone knows where can I buy a TOSLINK or DIGITAL OPTICAL CABLE in Doha?
I found one at PCONE but sells for QR150 , when you can buy one in amazon for QR10 or 20, so I woulnd't like to spend that much or wait that long for delivery.
Thanks

Actually what you need might not be the quite the same.

For example: The TOSLINK fibre optic cable I got for 50QR has a different connector at one end; TOSLINK to 3.5 MALE. Whereas the other type (more common) is just a standard to standard fibre optic connector, which were about 30QR in most places.

It depends what you need it for. I needed mine to power a SONOS sound bar and surround system for my TV. It is powered from a Mac-Mini which needs the 3.5mm optical jack output on that end.

Cheers.

Electronics mall on RHS of Mercure Sofitel Hotel.

Fourth or fifth shop on Gnd floor RHS.

50QR.

Been all over Doha today - nobody else seems to have them.

Good luck

I know they are the same, tried that place in Hyatt plaza and they don't have any.

Anyone else knows where can I get one of these at a reasonable price?

thanks

They're one in the same. Both are optical cables. Carrefour may have 'em. Also that video game store in Hyatt may as well. It's across from Dunkin' Donuts a couple shops down before you get to that Jungle Zone place.
