I really like this cable it sounds so good! It was in the original unopened box and was shipped very fast! It is very long which is what I needed. It looks very durable and a lot of thought went into designing it.

The most demanding banks, corporations, and data centers use the world's best fiber optic cable in their networks to send a 10 gigabit multimode distance of several kilometers. That fiber costs 60 cents per foot. Why does Monster Cable charge $60 or more for to send a single-mode 128kbps signal a few feet? Absurd.

I suggest a much cheaper option like the PTC Toslink Digital Audio 6 Foot Cable. Save your money and spend it where it will really count: on quality headphones, speakers, or music.

There is absolutely no reason to buy a "high performance" expensive digital cable unless you like flushing money down the toilet. A $3 cable will work exactly the same. The whole reason electronics use digital is because any noise on the line doesn't affect signal quality. You either get a valid digital signal or you don't. It amazes me that Monster Cable is able to rip off consumers with their talk of better quality digital signals. If you don't believe me, do some research online and find out what a scam this is.
