Adapter D2B -> fiber optic cable

Hey guys,
i'm looking for this cable:


It's a normal D2B fiber optic cable to connect to the w203 c-sportcoupe bose amplifier, but the other end has a "normal fiber optic" connector.

Does anyone knows where i can get this?
thank you,

bose amp:



this adapter would be to use a different external audio source (not the audio 10 radio cd) ... do you guys think it will work?

thanks,

No I do not think it will work since data also travels up and down those lines besides sound.

for what i know the bose amp with the D2B has a signal input ... and a signal output.. in theory if i replaced the audio source of the signal input.. it would work =\ but .. lol

probably the best solution it's just switch to another amp...

The entire system is a daisy chain system. Each device gets a input and output. If you break the chain, then all devices will stop working. So if you want to connect an aftermarket headunit to the output leg, you'll have a left over input leg not connected to anything and everything will turn off. Also, you cannot control a cd changer with an aftermarket unit.
