Why spend more?
This product works just like the much higher priced items out there. Why spend more money on something that does the exact same job?

Simple Cable Works as Advertised
This is a welcome product in a world of $20 cables.

The cable looks and feels like a quality product and does its job well.

Some people have complained about the cable not clicking or falling out. This was not an issue for me.

My only complaint was that the cable doesn't provide a visual indicator that its active like some other cables, but that can be desirable in some scenarios and I love the price.

Works great. Unbelievable price. Minor connector issue
I purchased two cables, one for my Tivo HD to Onkyo receiver and the other for my Panasonic Blue Ray to Onkyo receiver. The connector did not want to stay in the Tivo optical port. I realized that the rubber body on the outside of the cable connector was to fat to fit into the recessed receptacle. It was hitting the square cut-out on the frame of the Tivo. After carefully shaving the outer casing of the connector with a razor blade, the cable pushed in far enough to make the proper connection and click in place. Both cables then worked great. Unlike analog signals, a digital signal either works or it doesn't. There is no such thing as a inferior cable introducing noise and degrading the picture. These cables work, period. If I spent lots of money for the cables, I would rate this lower because of the modification I needed to make, but getting two cables for less than $2, wow.

You get what you pay for
This product worked for literally a minute. It then stopped working. I checked in on different electronics, and the result was the same. The product was cheap so it isn't a bog loss at all, but it is a pain to be forced to buy a new cable now.
