MacBook Pro Optical Out

I have a MacBook Pro. I know the minijack is both analog and optical digital out.

Where can I find the cable that allows me to connect the optical digital out to a home theatre system (that has optical input)?

Is this cable hard to find? How much approximately is it?

You just have to get an Optical TOSLINK cable from pretty much any audio shop. Monster is a good brand, but in most cases it should not matter.

Does anyone know if the powerbook is optical as well?

Yep. I think it even has Optical in if I'm not mistaken..

Just to make it clear to others looking... you'll need an optical mini adapter similar to this one at Amazon, all of $1.46 at time of posting. Or this one for $1.25. Then use a regular optical cable.

Thanks for the clarification man. Didn't know about the mini adapater.

Optical Cable 3.5 mm

Here is a link to the 3.5mm optical cable adapter... I bought one it works great! You will need an optical cable along with the adapter.
