Product Description
Serious home theatre isn't just about watching movies - it's about experiencing them. Achieving the best possible picture and sound means using the most advanced, highest definition cable. For Monster Cable, that meant making its best even better. The main criteria was performance - to create the world's highest quality, most advanced line of home theatre cable. So, Monster joined forces with THX, the leader in audio/video quality assurance programs for select movie theatres, home theatre components, and DVDs. And a new breed of ultra performance home theatre cable was born.Monster's Ultra Series is a result of hundreds of hours of critical listening, testing, re-evaluation, and engineering refinements. Only the most advanced Monster technologies, designs and materials were used. And of course, every cable had to meet the stringent certification standards set by THX. As you'll see and hear, the results are ultra impressive.Dolby Digital and DTS are ultra-high quality digital audio formats that provide incredible surround sound and superior performance. You must use a fiber optic or digital coax cable to take advantage of these exciting new technologies.Monster's Ultra Series Fiber Optic 1000 cable features special high grade index optical fiber and an internal Isotec vibration isolation jacket which greatly reduces jitter for maximum sonic clarity and optimizes digital bitstream transmissions. Bandwidth is maximized, so all the dialogue, music and sound effects are delivered with precision, clarity and accuracy.PRODUCT FEATURES:Hand polished optical fiber for more accurate signal transfer;Spring-loaded connector keeps fiber in optical alignment for maximum data transfer;Heavy-duty, color-coded molded grip for easy handling;Exceeds THX certification standards for proper system performance, reliability and ease of installation.

 Its Fiber Optics - yep it works January 24, 2010
Novice
I find no difference between this Monster Optical cable and the ones my wife picked up for me at Target (I think they were Sony). Point being it is an Optical cable made of fiber optics. For these short runs, a cable is a cable is a cable, if it passes light - it works. Unlike copper where conductivity matters and the many technologies behind wire twists, oxygen free copper, and so on, an Optical cable is simply a piece of silicon wrapped in fancy sheathing, good packaging and aesthetically pleasing colors. If it passes light - it works.
Point being is that this cable did what it was supposed to do - it passed light transmission from one piece of A/V gear to another and does its job well. One major issue I did have was the connector end stays in the unit if I unplug it, I have to reassemble the cable/connector before inserting it again, otherwise it works just fine.

These are digital cables. To get to the point, digital means all or nothing, no in between. Therefore a pair of these for 16 bucks have the same performance as these:

for $0.01
If you read anyone who says these beat the cheaper ones are either smoking the good stuff or working for Monster cable company...or both.
I was BLOWN away from the sound quality of this compared to lower end monster optical October 22, 2009

I am not an audiophile, but I do want things to sound good. My cheaper monstor optical cable seemed to not deliver the sound i waned. I purchased this one and hooked it up and was immediately blown away. The sound was so much better. For me, why have an expensive audio system if you don't have good sound connectors. I am so glad I made this purchase. The cable is made from far better and thicker material than their cheaper version. This is important because with optical cables as they bed (or get stepped on my a dog or a cat), they can lose quality. Also the connectors on these are 1000% better than the connectors on the low end monster cable.
I received genuine products brand new in genuine packaging though a seller who ships through amazon's prime program (i think that they may have a higher standard for people who do that, but it comes back to amazon if there is a problem.

For those of us that have older receivers without HDMI inputs this is the way you want to connect your HD sources! I'll agree that Monster overcharges for most of their cables, but when it comes to optical cables Monster is the one you want! Monster has been making excellent optical cables for ages, why buy cheap optical cables?
The Holy Grail of Digital Fiber-Optic Cables July 5, 2009

I still remember when this lovely little cable cost about $100 down at my local electronics store. Then I found it here for about a fifth of that amount. 'Add to Cart'. No second-guessing needed. If you are in the market for this type of cable to complete your home theater setup, I recommend this cable (or its 8-foot counterpart) above all others. It should be the last cable of said type that you will ever need to buy.
