Product Description

From the Manufacturer
Digital audio is here to stay. With the advent of DVD, digital satellite and high performance DACs, more digital sound sources are in more homes than ever before. While the choice of signal transfer - optical or coaxial - is dictated by your components, the delicacy of the digital signal is not. The slightest imperfection in cable construction can mean dropped data, signal loss and overall poor performance. Though the Toslink connection is typically not as sturdy as its coaxial counterpart, the absence of possible electrical grounding noise makes Toslink the choice for many audiophiles and discriminating home theatre buffs. Unfortunately, most Toslink cables offer meager construction and cheap materials, resulting in poor transmission and data loss. LightSpeed 200 Features Advanced Construction and Superior Performance Interlink LightSpeed 200 (ILS200) fiber optic cables feature advanced construction and a unique, cutting edge Toslink Monster¨ connector. Unlike many ordinary connectors that use plastic, ILS200 features a metal shell for lifelong durability. A specially designed spring-loaded pressure connection keeps the fiber perfectly aligned between the output source and your component's input receiver. This results in more accurate signal transfer--the cornerstone of superior performance and faithful sonic reproduction. ILS200's flexible, heavy-duty Duraflex¨ jacket protects the delicate inner fiber from damage and is easily maneuverable through the jungle of cable behind any system. Graded index optical fiber greatly reduces jitter, for optimum transmission of S/PDIF, Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams. And, ILS200's special internal Isotec vibration isolation jacket prevents mechanical vibration from inducing jitter, for maximum clarity and resolution. Interlink LightSpeed 200: Light Years Ahead of the Competition Whether transferring 5.1 data for surround sound decoding or music from your high performance DAC, ILS200 far exceeds other fiber optic cables in performance, durability and value.

1.0 out of 5 stars Same performance at many times the price, June 12, 2007

By	S. Ragsdale - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY!, June 23, 2009

By	Digital Dude - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome cable!, April 20, 2008

By	Tom Cruise - See all my reviews

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.
