About Monster Cable MC 400DFO-20 foot Digital Audio Opitcal Cable:
Precision Digital Audio Optical Cable for Clear, Natural Surround Sound and Stereo Audio from CD/DVD Players and Cable/Satellite Receivers
Fiber optic cables with ordinary construction deliver ordinary sound. Fiber optic cables abound, but finding one that lives up to the level of performance required by today’s high-performance CD and DVD players isn’t always easy. Many optical cables feature inferior materials and construction. The result: inferior data transfer—a real problem for the home theater enthusiast striving to maximize their high-fidelity components. With its advanced lightpath, Monster Cable® Fiber Optic 400DFO delivers all the data for enhanced audio realism.

Specially tuned fiber and precision polished fiber terminations minimize internal reflections and signal dispersion for more accurate signal transfer and smooth, natural sound. An advanced InsuLight™ jacket further minimizes digital jitter and time distortion. And because the bitstream is transferred optically, there are no annoying buzzes and hums, just amazing digital sound.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES:
• Precision-polished fiber terminations minimize internal reflections for improved digital signal transfer.

Monster Cable Products, Inc. was founded in 1979 by Noel Lee, who was then a laser-fusion design engineer at Lawrence-Livermore Laboratory, as well as an audiophile and professional drummer. Lee discovered that wires of different constructions produced varying degrees of audio performance when hooked up to loudspeakers. From this discovery, he developed a high performance speaker cable and named it Monster Cable, then literally created an industry. The invention of Monster Cable created an entirely new product category that revolutionized the audio market. Before there was Monster Cable, most stereo systems were wired with ordinary "zip-cord," the same cable used for electrical household and lamp wire. Their inferior construction and cheap materials restricts power, dynamic range and clarity in the lows, mids, and highs.
Lee chose the name "Monster" because it sounded strong and powerful. It became an immediate hit with consumers. In fact, the name Monster Cable is so synonymous with high quality and high performance, customers often assume that any cable they purchase in reputable stores would be Monster even though there are other cable brands.
