All Monster Cables are overpriced.avoid being ripped-off if at all possible. They are high quality though, so that's why they charge too much.
This cable is worth every penny. Other than the connector, I don't have much to say about this cable compared to other Toslink cables. The connector is beautiful. The "M" in Monster is wonderfully printed and the finger grips feel like work of art. The innards are really all the same. I can say that there is a marked improvement over the extended coathanger I had been using previously to connect my receiver to my audio equipment.
Be careful, ladies and gentlemen, this is not.I repeat NOT a toslink to mini-toslink cable, as the picture would lead you to believe. The ILS1002M cable is regular toslink on both ends. The description is correct, however, the picture is wrong.
I guess An Electronics Fan never tried the GE (Jasco) Ultra Prograde Digital Optical Cable AV22684. This cheapest optical I could find cost me wasted time and money. The Monster Digital Interlink LightSpeed 100 Cable solved the problem. The Monster Cable transmitted several times greater intensity light than the limp, weak, cheap GE cable.
All it has is one optical jack and one set of L/R RCA jacks for a stereo VCR source.So all I did was go to Wal Mart or Radio Shack (can't remember which) and bought the only optical cable they had for like 20 bucks. Yeah, I don't get this obsession with Monster brand cable either. Works just fine. When I got my 5.1 set-up, I thought the only way to get 5.1 sound was to use an optical wire anyway. Well, on my system it was, as it had no RCA jacks for all those discrete channels. My problem if anything is my receiver. But I think I'll be upgrading sometime later this year.
