    The Rocket-Fish audio cables are average at best. From time to time there is a surge that goes through the line and that is very annoying.

    Non-standard base prevents use

    The rocketfish optical cable features a non-standard base (the silver part behind the connector). While it does look good, it prevents use in many standard optical connectors. The Insignia optical cable on the other hand is more standardized and fits easily. Honestly, there is no performance/technical benefit to purchasing this more expensive (or any other) optical cable. Fiber transmits using light: the quality of the cable, insulation, or even expensive metal contacts will not change the speed of light or improve the "quality" of the connection. Save your money.

    The plastic housing on either side is to big for the slots in my Bose receiver. So any movement causes it to pop out of its slot.

    As optical cable, the sound quality remains in the average... price was also not really fair compared to the quality.

    I’m not sure if the sometimes mild audio coming from my sound system is due to these cables but they work just fine.

    Can't really attest to the quality of the cable. The TV did not put out the optical signal to add the sound bar.
