Many thanks for the question! The clear plastic covers look like part of the ends. Pulling these covers off and inserting the cable works fine - they just click in. Another tip is that some TVs work best if you set the TV to "External Speakers" so that there is no sound from the TV speakers.

Can I use this cable to connect the optical outlet on my dvd player to an HDMI outlet on my TV?

It's the clear plastic covers on the ends of the cables. I made the mistake of not removing them at first and was about to post about how they wouldn't connect, but they do. Work fine on both my tv and the soundbar that I have it connected to.

Every toslink/optical cable I've ever used has indeed snapped in. It is not a real hard snap in though.It certainly should not be falling out, the connection point on your device may be damaged.Do you have any other input to try so you can see if it is just the one input that is not snapping in?

I would like to know how this cable is used for connecting dvd player to my tuner. Do I need two for that??thanks,dummy

Well is it supposed to "snap" in or not? No one has answered the question yet. I tried another brand cable and it did not snpa in place, it just sort of sat there and any movement would nock it out.

Have Samsung TV and sound bad,both have similar ports. Are most TVs and soundbars use standard squareish sizes?

did you mean to write "the latch works, but just after I pull the handle a few times IT NO LONGER WORKS. Do i need to replace or tighten?" as I see it there are 2 possible issues. Most likely: the cable is coming off the handle. you've got to make sure that is seats perfectly. unless the cable is shot (if so, it's an easy fix and cheap part), there is nothing to tighten. you are either in or not. less likely (2). cable is shot. if so, replace.Scott N is correct below... you MUST insert the cable into the slot correctly. if you don't it is very likely to pop off. that is likely your issue. I actually had an issue with my cable and the electric switch part and thought I might as well replace the poor plastic OEM handle. did you mean to write "the latch works, but just after I pull the handle a few times IT NO LONGER WORKS.

I had problems getting it in. I haven't had any problems with it working since I got it in. I think I would not have had a problem with it, but there was a piece broken on it and I have no idea if it came that way or if I did it when I was having trouble getting it in.

seth.. we had to remove the covers on the end of the cable. The tiny black covers over the connectors.. they come off. We removed 2, then it fit just fine. I hope this answers your question

Yes, I've had the same issue with cheaper cables. The Belkin "Snagless" design is superior to other snagless designed. I know 5 of these cable including 1 I carry with me all the time and I've never had one of these clips break.

Mine has never snapped in or anything but has always been really secure. It's hard to tell you if what your experiencing is normal without a bit more detail.

Yes. And I can say that I use my cable daily and vigorously and it has held up perfectly to the abuse I have put it through for over a year now with no signs of stopping! The only weakness to this cable is the thin plastic shell with the name printed on it at the ens of the cable. Mine cracked and would have fallen off exposing the wires. A quick fix (and something I do with ALL of my charge cables) was to slip a 1" section of shrink tube over the end of the cable. This secured the original cover in place and gave me something extra to pull on when pulling the cable out of the phone, which is where most people ruin their cables in the first place...pulling the cable out of the phone by the cable!

It will snap back in if none of the plastic broke. Mine did and I couldn't find just a replacement back. I still use it without because I love the case but will buy another when I can.

Mine is still fine no problem. The one thing I did notice is that it won't snap shut with the insert in it. (usb)

Mine was a little loose, but it just needs to be tapped to snug up the connector tabs. Hope this makes sense and helps.

Mine snapped in pretty easily. I didn't use the adapters provided. Yours might be defected. I have just about every accessory and they are all very easy to install (husband not required)

The best is if you call the company's engineering department I am 100% sure they will tell you why after all they designed this cable all I know it's a solid well built great cable. The only thing I can think of the one cable becomes two so you need to make a nice and neat way to do it but their could be some kind of electronic device in their a filtering capacitor or resistance in their. The only way to find out is call them or take it apart and see it for yourself, I would not take it apart, I would give them a call, an engineer will assist you they are very good company they have excellent service.

I have mine plugged into the upper socket and have not pushed plastic on bottom into lower socket. If having it there disturbs you I would just plug into lower socket and not worry about it. Have had several surges here lately and the 3 types of protectors I bought from Amazon all worked well. It truly is a good product you purchased.

same thing happened to me super glue the piece back in along with the cable it will never come out again . make sure its in straight . mine works fine now !

I am sorry my friend. I am not an expert on this stuff. I would not call what I have "Perfect FLex". It is very heavy duty cable and I am happy with the signal. That is what I was after.

That's what I thought initially. Well, it snaps :) just use more force to snap it in, no worries, you won't break it :) after you use enough force, you should feel/hear as it clicks in and them it will be tight and stable.

It might be a bad cable, for some reason mine has that issue sometimes. I have to reposition the cable in order for it to work. It could be something else, but from my experience with this brand, it's just a cheap, finicky cable.
