Monster Cable THX-Certified Fiber Optic Digital Interconnect Cable (4 Feet)

Product Description

THX is the A/V equivalent of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. This label appears only on products that meet or exceed a stringent set of technical standards, established by engineers at world-renowned Lucasfilm Ltd. - notably responsible for the Star Wars films. The cables used in large quantities in home theater to connect components can be subject to frequency response and noise problems if not designed and constructed properly. Monster THX I100FO-4 is built to the most exacting specifications, ensuring the broadest bandwidth and most uncolored signal that's technically possible. To quote George Lucas: "The combination of THX and 5.1 digital sound is the absolute assurance that consumers can now experience the finest sound reproduction from their Home Theater."

Poor build quality.......2007-08-04

I ordered two of these recently and would dearly love to return them. One of them does not function properly and cuts out every 20 - 30 seconds, and the build quality is very poor. They don't snap into place like the toslink QED cables I have.

defective product.......2007-06-27

This THX cable was sold as a brand new item...it came in a zip lock plastic bag and it did not work. I asked the merchant to send me a new one right away and pay for the shipping this one back and they refused...
This is not a reliable merchant and they sell stock "B" products or most likely cheap imitations made in third world countries...I will not buy from them again...

Monster Optic cable.......2007-06-18

I bought a surround system that actually came with an OPTIC CABLE which is almost unheard of today. I never really believed in better cable = better sound, i always thought they were all the same but believe me... THE MONSTER ones had a noticeable difference, its much clearer, crisper than the ones that came with my system. For this price this cable can't be beat. I rather use another couple bucks to get a quality cable over radioshacks or any other generic cable

This monster certified thx cable is worth the money...

Buyers beware of your setup though as 4 feet can be pretty short, i had to rearrange my setup due to this

optic cable review.......2007-03-24

This is a good product with a price much less than in an electronics store. I would recommend a 6 ft length for most set ups. I found the connections would loose contact if any strain was put on the cable. Otherwise the quality of the sound is great,

Overpriced.......2007-02-21

This product performs like it advertises but there are dozens of other optical cable brands out there that perform just as well at a fraction of the price.

Great price for a Monster product. Digital connection is one of the best for audio connections

Sounds Good.......2007-03-19

The cable was easy to connect (as expected) and the sound quality is great. For the system I was setting up, this cable offered great sound quality for a reasonable price.

High audio quality.......2007-03-09

This Fiber Optic cable allow me to keep high audio fidelity in my studio. I recommend it!!!

Great Buy!.......2006-03-15

The best brand name in home audio/visual cable accessories. This was the best price I found this quality.

Monster Cable THX I100.......2006-01-02

What exactly is a fiber optic cable? It transports sound using a digital signal. In fiber optics, light is used to transport this digital data. The digital signal is made up of 1 and 0. 1 being light, 0 being no light.

I recommend using the Monster Standard Cables and always will. I actually did try different cables unlike most people who talk about the cables all being the same.

So how should I decide between buying a "high end" fiber optic cable and an ok one. Well, the fact that it is triple the cost of this cable kind of gets me. I purchased a top of the line, Monster Cable THX Ultra 1000, that was really expensive. The Ultra 1000 is more durable, and uses higher quality materials that transport the light more efficently. Yea it did sound slightly better. But if you plan on using it for a CD player or a cheaper surround sound system, you won't need the really expensive stuff. This does perfectly well. But even for me, I ended up returing the Ultra 1000. Why you ask? The quality didn't meet the price. Its not worth it unless you plan on building a top of the line home theater that you plan to use every day. For most people, this cable will be more than enough of an improvement that they'll notice the difference and be happy enough.

You should keep in mind that when you use surround sound, that in order to actually achieve the full 5.1 surround sound that you should use digital fiber optic cables for all the sound inputs that you can use it for. (CD players and video cassettes don't have 5.1, most only have 2.0/1.0 respectively)

Overall, I gave this Monster Standard cable a 5 because there is no 4.90.

Notes for new users of these cables:

- Make sure your DVD player or Cable/Satallite reciever has the fiber optic output, as a lot of the cheaper ones don't.

- Pull off the plastic protective coverings on each end of the fiber optic cables. These are there to protect the cable during transit/storage.

- Be careful not to bend the cables around too much or strtch them to meet the distance you want them to reach. Buy a longer one if you need to.

- If the black coating on the cable gets striped a bit, consider buying a new cable, as the damage allows light to seep out, thus, distoring the quiality.

And dig the stylish, futuristic connector design inspired by Lucasfilm's Star Wars epics.

Great Toslink!.......2007-05-19

At this price, this is deifnitely the best Optical cable out there. A comparable brand for the price is Radio Shack's generic Toslink, and this does the job better, with crsper sound at a few dollars less.

Mind-blowing Quality.......2007-02-22

I have always been an audiophile, and look for the best sound that I can get out of my home-theater environment. I've tried numerous types of cable connections, including a Monster Digital Coaxial cable. I thought that sounded good, until I connected up the THX-Certified Digital Optical cable... it unleashed an entirely new level of audio performance out of my existing DVD player and receiver. I was very impressed.

The price is also quite reasonable... if you're looking for a good connection for top-end audio quality, this is the way to go.
