What can you say about this item? It looks good with a metallic blue finish and gold contacts. It's easy to grasp with a traction enhancing grip embedded into the connector assembly. I connect my Sony DVD player's digital coax output to the digital coax input of my Logitech Z-5500 speaker system with this cable and get spectacular and high fidelity results, although I would mainly credit the speaker system for that, as I would hope digital signals would be more forgiving of any cable deficiencies.

But, it's good to have a well shielded cable, regardless. There are numerous analog video and audio cables running over my desk; lack of shielding would result in distracting noise somewhere. I paid for a high quality display. I paid for high quality audio. This means I needed to keep paying and use only quality shielded cables in order to eliminate cable crosstalk noise.

So, if you need a 12 foot digital coax cable, this is a reasonable choice. (As it happens, I could and should have ordered a shorter cable; six feet would have been ample and would have reduced my noise exposure even further.)

This cable feels nice. It has a certain elasticity. It's able to uncoil itself. It's a good length. Has lasted me for 4 years. Distinct color too. You can't miss it compared with the black and gray cables.

This is very good cable for the price, the build quality is excelent and it works fine. I can't say much about the "Sound Quality" because I don't think there is such a thing for cable of this length. It works fine and is of good build quality, comparing it to cables costing twice as much or more...
