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...

Hooked up my new VocoPro GigStar karaoke machine to my surround system using this because of the digital sound option. I needed the longer cord because of the placement of the machine in relation to my receiver. Sound was clean, and clear, and I noticed no delay. Really appreciate the value I received here.

I was glad to find a decent cable at a good price. Retailers tend to stock only over-priced Mon***r cables, which are overkill for analog signals, and totally pointless for digital.

I just received this cable and immediately connected my subwoofer to my digital receiver. I replaced the cable that came with the subwoofer and I felt that the item I replaced was the subwoofer itself not cable. The deep bass came out like never before. I am very satisfied with this cable, which is not Monstercable but for the price...

Very recommended for any component not classified as an audiophile product.

works perfectly for sending pre-encoded dolby digital from my x-fi sound card to my reciever. Used a MONO phono (rca) to miniplug to connect it to the sound card (2.99 at radioshak).

I am happy with this cable. It appears to be well made and looks great. Seems to work flawlessly.

I was impressed with the packaging and "appearance" of quality. The shipper was very timely in getting my order out to me. When I received the item I plugged it into my stereo and DVD player. The quality of the product is very generic and was worthless. I received nothing but a distored signal coming through my speakers. I rechecked all the connections and made sure that they were all tight yet to no avail. I've been hooking up my own electronics for years. After the attempt I replugged my optical cable in and tossed the other one away. I did not contact the seller, I just thought it would be a waste of everyone's time and if a replacement was sent I would wind up with the same low quality product.
