Just got a new Sound Card. Have questions about the optical

Hey,all,

I just got a sound card for my pc. It is a soundblaster X-Fi extreme gamer. I have a pretty nice receiver in my room, and it has optical. My question is this:

Is there an OPTICAL cable that will go from this:

To this:

the above is a standard optical connection
EDIT: Sorry if that was not clear enough, but only the bottom picture is a standard optical jack

And, if there is one that exists, where could I get one? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tekgek

Looks like you need either a mini toss link to toss link cable or adapter.

Just a quick search thru Crutchfield... I'm sure you can find them anywhere.

BTW: Some places use toss link others use toslink

Thank you so much. I was not sure what the cables were called. I will be ordering it today. I will be gone for the next few days, so it should be here by time I get home. Thanks again. :) :) :) :) :) :)

Thanks,

Alright, I just installed the new card, and the optical cable. The new audio system works great! Thanks!
