5Very nice cable, excellent constructionMay 23, 2006
By Jay F.
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.

5Its Fiber Optics - yep it worksJan 24, 2010
By Novice
I find no difference between this Monster Optical cable and the ones my wife picked up for me at Target (I think they were Sony). Point being it is an Optical cable made of fiber optics. For these short runs, a cable is a cable is a cable, if it passes light - it works. Unlike copper where conductivity matters and the many technologies behind wire twists, oxygen free copper, and so on, an Optical cable is simply a piece of silicon wrapped in fancy sheathing, good packaging and aesthetically pleasing colors. If it passes light - it works.

Point being is that this cable did what it was supposed to do - it passed light transmission from one piece of A/V gear to another and does its job well. One major issue I did have was the connector end stays in the unit if I unplug it, I have to reassemble the cable/connector before inserting it again, otherwise it works just fine.

4No complaints.Jun 09, 2008
By JMM
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.

1If you bought this, you have been scammed.Dec 22, 2005
By Ao Me Akuma
Here's the deal folks. You cannot make a digital signal "better." Either the signal gets through, or it doesn't. Either the cable works, or it doesn't. Monster Cable, purveyors of ludicrously overpriced audio/video accesories designed to capatilize upon the naivete of buyers and the rampant superstition in audio/videophile circles, apparently saw fit to create not just one line of overpriced digital optical cables, but to make two different versions: Monster "Standard" and Monster "Ultra." "Ultra" of course, costs more than twice as much as the "Standard," but the kicker is that THEY BOTH WORK EXACTLY THE SAME. You will not notice a difference between them.

Those 1s and 0s going through a digital cable either get through or not at all, contrary to what Monster Cable would have you believe. I can imagine Monster Cable telling us that the 1s, with their sharp, angular edges, have a harder time flowing through the cable than the rounded 0s, and that the only solution is their own, speciality brand cable. Buy your digital cable elsewhere and avoid these clowns.

Not sure how much better it is sound wise than other monster cables but definitely more secure and feels much sturdier.
