The length of the power cord is approximately 18 to 20 feet. The length is 24 inches.
The Bose 321 system is unfamiliar territory for me. The LINKFOR is nothing more than a "bridge" between two audio optical cables. There are four different optical signals that can be "passed in" (i.e. (1) audio optical cable "out (ie. video game console, CD player, television, etc.) to (2) video game console, CD player, television, etc.) (the recipient). It doesn't have any wireless capabilities.

br>This contraption is impenetrable to bullets. It's well-made, incredibly simple to set up, and runs without a hitch. All of this for a bargain price. br>What I like best about this unit is that when I switch from HDMI 1 to HDMI 3, it automatically switches to optical sound. I'm not required to use the remote control that comes with the package. When you're in the mood for a cup of coffee, this is a godsend. As we do, we have a table piled high with remotes. br>br>There is no comparison between this unit and the much more expensive unit; THIS is the superior unit. br>I bought this based solely on what other people had said about it on Amazon, based on their own experiences. br>I'm so glad I took the chance. This unit is everything they said it would be, and then some. We are EXTREMELY SATISFIED! Buy with complete confidence. br>br> You're not going to be let down.
I originally wanted the 4x1 switch, but the INs and OUT ports are on opposite sides of the switch, making placement difficult with cables protruding from both sides. So I went with the 3 x 1, which has the INs and OUTs on the same side, making it much easier to work with. It's a solid device, and the remote is quite responsive. Perfect solution for my older AVR with limited optical/audio ports.
I tried five different styles and brands before finding one that I liked. The reason I like this one is that it works quickly when pushed the most out of the others. I tried connecting one to the speaker and then using inputs from three different devices that didn't work but only for less than 24 hours, and the next one we got was the same two types that both didn't work, so those were returned. Then I went to this one, which I didn't like as much because there are more cords involved because I have to plug it into the wall and it has a Turner, but it works the best and takes less than five minutes to set up. It also has a USB connection, which is great if you have a more modern style surge protector. Again, this is my second style of plug-in type, but the Turner works quickly and I can choose from three different lines; it doesn't have to be in any particular order, but it does recommend that you turn it off. Which isn't a big deal because all you have to do is remember to say the power. But, after all of the trials I've done thus far, I'm going to say that this is the one that works best, so go for it.
The device is simple to use. I've got it hooked up to a gaming PC, a PS3, and a 4K TV. So, what is the purpose of this device? I bought a cheap used Philips DVD Home Theater that only has Digital Optical, so I'm back to using Digital Optical until I save up enough money to invest in a 4K 120 Hz receiver. br>br>The device is extremely simple to operate and performs admirably; Dolby Digital is supported by all of the devices I require. It even works well with the universal controller from Sofabaton. For power, I plug it into the USB port on my TV, which means it turns on and off with the TV. It resolved all five of my problems. br>br> Until I get a proper 4K 120 Hz receiver, I'm having one sound problem.
I ordered and received the product a day before it appeared on my Amazon notifications, which was very nice. When I opened it up, everything looked and felt great, indicating that it is a high-quality product. I also purchased a three-pack of 6-foot fiber optic cables to connect all of my equipment to the switch. I checked all of the devices to make sure that optical audio was turned on so that the signal could reach the switch. I turn on the receiver, the PS4, and the switch, and everything works fine for about a minute. No clicks, pops, or anything like that. I have to unplug the highlighted cable, re-plug it, and it works again. I've swapped cables, devices, and verified that power was sufficient (powered by a USB port on a nearby USB hub), but no matter which port I use, I have to unplug and re-plug it when it first boots up. If I don't plug in the port's cable, I won't be able to hear anything. Aside from having to manually remove/insert the cable for the device I'm using, this is a great product that does exactly what it should.
This item is in excellent condition. It's a good product. Built to last, solid, and incredibly dependable. The metal construction is attractive and sturdy enough to prevent the switch from slipping or popping up due to the weight of the optical cables. The remote is in perfect working order. The optical cables snap into place with a satisfying click. I've never experienced an audio drop-out before. This switch has no faults or issues. I've even plugged in a 35-foot optical cable from my media player, and it hasn't missed a beat. The USB charger is ideal for avoiding the clutter of a power brick. I powered this switch using one of the two unused USB ports on my Motorola set-top box.
It seems to be well constructed. It certainly works, but you must first decide which way the signal should be split. This one is "three in, one out," which means I've got three optical cables going "in" from a TV, CD player, and a spare, and a single "out" from a new set of powered Kanto speakers. I needed this to enable the speakers to play other sources because they only have one optical "in. ".
