Customer Reviews

Very nice cable, excellent construction
I got one of these for $16.97, on clearance at Radio Shack (from $69.99). At this price, it was worth it, but I could never pay $50 for one. Best bet is to get a used or open-box one from a place like Ebay, for much less.

No complaints.
Did not purchase this on Amazon, saw it on a electronics store website for $9.00 bucks plus shipping, thought what the heck.

Price is back up there, and I don't really know why they were so cheap, they came brand new/sealed etc. Quality seems great, the connectors is on some type of spring, as you can move it slightly back and forth, seems pretty high tech, even if it doesn't do anything, but I don't know.

The jacket material is a very firm mesh type, not sure what's it's called, but not your typical plenum or PVC. All in all construction seems really nice on this cable, connector tips look very nice.

Again, I wouldn't pay full price for this, and that's not to say they might not be worth it, but I know for a fact I do NOT have the hear to honestly say I can hear a difference between this and a regular old belkin/wirelogic/phillips etc Fiber Optic Cable. But this one looks much cooler, and construction IS top notch.

Monster's optical cables
For those of us that have older receivers without HDMI inputs this is the way you want to connect your HD sources! I'll agree that Monster overcharges for most of their cables, but when it comes to optical cables Monster is the one you want! Monster has been making excellent optical cables for ages, why buy cheap optical cables?
