Summary: 1 Stars
So, lets break down their selling points:
* High-performance fiber optic cable with highly polished elements
Quality of fiber really only matters for the length of a run. As long as the light shows up at the end, the cable works. At a insane length of 6m, I hardly think fiber quality maters as long as it isn't opaque. "Highly polished elements" refer to the ends of the fiber. If the light cannot get into the fiber, you don't have a connection. As long as they don't cut the fiber with a chainsaw, you should be good for 6m. Nothing special.
* Accurate audio signal transfer for greater clarity with enhanced transparency
Accurate signal transfer means that this cable delivers the light from point A to point B. If they didn't do this, they couldn't market this as a TosLink cable. Basically tells you that you aren't buying an expensive rope.
* Gold-plated connections for low signal loss, improved conductivity and oxidation resistance
This one leaves me lost for words. Now why would gold plating help the transfer of light? It doesn't. It doesn't matter if the cable can conduct electric as the sole purpose of the cable is to transfer light, in fact, it might be seen as a reason to not buy this cable as it could accidentally short something else out. And oxidation resistance, if they had made the connectors out of plastic they would not run into oxidation problems in the first place. There is no reason to use metal. It just wastes the already scarce gold supplies we have.
* Extra durable blackscope opaque jacket, all metal non-magnetic barrel
Ok, they say it is durable. This might be important if you expect to yank this cable out and stomp on it daily. If you are using this cable in a studio environment then it isn't going to be moved very often if at all. Again, waste of metal.
* Measures 6 meters (20 feet)
Only valid selling point in the entire description. I can't imagine them not being able to measure.
In short, if you want an optical cable, get the cheapest that works. If it breaks, buy another cheap one. You can find 6 meter cables for a few bucks. As long as light goes from point A to point B, you will get the best sound quality the connected devices can offer.
