The usable length of a Toslink (optical fiber) connection will depend on the intensity of the light source and the quality of the plastic fiber; typically the length of the cable should not exceed 10 meters (33 feet) which meets your requirement. Toslink cables made with glass fibers instead of plastic fibers have lower signal loss and can be used when the cable length is greater than 10 meters. The 3.5 mm copper connection will work at 20 feet using a shielded cable, but the cable should not be run close to (or parallel to) electrical power cables (for example, extension cards) to minimize the possibility of picking up 60 HZ power line hum.
