Review on High-Quality Monoprice RG6 RCA CL2 Rated Digital Coaxial Audio Cable – 50 Feet, Black by Shawn Quick

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very Happy: Audio Cable

I used a 25 foot Monoprice digital coaxial audio cable to connect the coaxial output of my USB coaxial audio adapter to the coaxial input of my amplifier. The result completely convinced me. To avoid my mistakes when working in tight spaces, be careful not to overcome this cable's natural resistance to bending. Bending the cable back on itself destroys the insulation. From what I've read, this leads to poor transmission performance over time. (If the insulation breaks, you can feel the "crush" as the insulation breaks.) I broke the first cable I bought (exactly the same product) by trying to put a loop in the cable through a Pull hole in the back of the case. Investigating how severe the damage was, I also learned that in order to efficiently transmit signals over coaxial cable, there is a recommended minimum point-to-point distance from the beginning of the coaxial loop to the end of the loop for the transmission to be efficient. The distance is a multiple of the cable thickness. From my observations, without bending it, it reaches the minimum recommended distance.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Big and Chunky

Excellent, Sturdy Sub Cable

Monoprice RG6/U are an economical alternative - good build quality, and low capacitance.

Great cables for the money!
