Great Cable

It may be true that optical cables all provide the same quality but not everyone that buys Monster optical cables will try refuting this. I buy Monster in general because of the durability as well as the quality, but in optical's case I bought this cable knowing that it should last as long as my equipment will. And for $20, that's not a bad investment. I have to admit though that I bought an Arista Fiber Optic cable which is just as good, four times the length and cheaper, but how long it will hold up against all the foot-traffic, I don't know. For the price I think either are fair.

I'm sure its fine...but...

This is a digital signal. The quality WILL NOT CHANGE based on the cable. Coax, optical, coat hangers, doesn't matter. If it gets a signal it will work. Optical is nice for a lot of reasons, but it will not vary the quality of the sound.

Monster makes good stuff

Optic cable will often give good results in a good quality system. Most often, a dedicated digital coax cable will yield better results in terms of sound. However, everyone hears a little differently, and sound equipment can sound very different between models, brands, and types.
It's worth it to pick up both a coax cable, and a Optic cable and listen between the two. To me, optic cable sounds better on older source material (CD's), and the coax sounds better on newer more advanced recordings.
I'd pick up both and kick back, do some listening.
