Whoo hoo, History of Modern art jokes, wacky comments, and witty reviews - this product is worth it just for the sheer number of laughs.

But... But... It's SHIELDED! I can feel the interference disappearing!Seriously though, if you need to get a shielded cable that that is sending a DIGITAL SIGNAL less than SIX FEET, you must have high-tension power lines less than a foot away from your stereo system.

You don't understand. This is not a cable, it's a work of art that deserves its place in the MoMA. The purpose of the artist here is to poke fun at the people who spend too much on cables. This is just like Duchamp's "fountain".

Was this the analog (VGA) cable or the digital cable? Nobody disagrees that shielding is not needed for analog signals, just digital. But it could be needed for digital if the interference is strong enough to interfere and cause errors. But then, it just won't work; it's not a matter of sounding better.

I won't say I can hear the difference. But I will say that after listening even sex seems.... trite.

"nothing more than an ethernet cable?" My friend, it appears you have much to learn in the ways of being better than everyone else in home electronics.Price spent > Actual performance. Once you learn this simple rule, you will be the ultimate audiophile, ready to rule the world with Bose Cubes and Monster HDMIs.Sad thing is, I was actually considering getting rid of my HK receiver and trying a Denon, not anymore.

You don't by a Denon AKDL1 for $500. At that price you buy at least 2!It's a tough economy, but you can't turn down a deal like this!!!!!

Mark, the best online site for cables, etc. is MonoPrice.com I got this tip from an Apple specialist. The cables that Apple charges $20- for you can get on Monoprice for 1/4 the price -- or less. If you want a 6' cable, this is the product I ordered and have used for the Scosche speaker. Don't buy the cable that sells for about $1-. That one does not fit. 9762 Premium USB to Micro USB Charge & Sync Cable 6ft- BlackNoel

Well, I specifically bought this cable because it's a "data cable." I was having trouble with my computer not recognizing my phone when I plugged it in to transfer music/pictures, etc. I found out it was because the cable I was using was a "charging cable" and cannot transfer data. This is a "data cable" and the other one you linked is a "charging cable," or so their descriptions indicate. Why the charging cable is more expensive, I don't know.

To my knowledge, an HDMI (audio/video) cable does not correlate to the functionality/purpose of a CAT-5, network cable. They are worlds apart.

There is no Ethernet port. However, there are two USB ports, so you could purchase a USB Ethernet adapter for $15-$30 in order to use a wired Ethernet connection.

No but any Ethernet cable works fine. It's well worth the price and it worked great for me !

I have a huge system with many, may cables. I can't remember if this ones does or not support sound to honest. If it is one that also has the Ethernet cable in it, it is one that supports sound. I have both on my system and the whole stack is in a cabinet so I can't just look and see. I suggest you ask the seller if it is a 'Dual Cable.'

The $12 cable works well for me. It did take over a week to arrive in the mail however. I think the local Radio Shack sells a lot of expensive cables to people who want to get their system running and forgot to order a cable when they ordered a system.

@Regula, great link. Thanks for that. I'm currently a cable customer, but I'm moving in three months. The new place has coax wired everywhere and I was considering renovating to add ethernet (cat-6).If I can get the satellite company to install their own coax, then using the netgear product may be a good alternative to renovation.

NO. I also thought I would be able to hook up two computers. Even tried using two plugs. You have to get a terminal-one of those little boxes that usually has jack inputs for 4 ethernet lines. Amazon has them for fairly cheap.

As I recall they came with the ethernet cables. Any CAT-5 or above ethernet cables can be used. There is nothing special about them.

Thanks for responding F.Lewis I just reread Amazons copy and they state that there is a port for a modem. I still don't know if that means that there is an internal modem or it's there for an external modem. The only XP software that I use is my Corel Paint ShopPro PHOTOX2. It just seems wrong that I would buy a new comp for around 5 to 6 hundred and then have to pay another almost 200 to upgrade it for one program. I feel confused and annoyed at the way things seem to be working out, sigh.

That's a great price, even used. The one I purchased NEW failed in 10 months, but Belkin promised a free replacement as soon as they re-stock. It's a very good unit when it works! Can't help you re the cable question, it's a very common cable so it wouldn'tset you back much even if you have to buy one. Try your local thrift shop, they always have a box of old cables cheap.

That is why i purchased it, not sure if it was defective, it just worked on one computer and not the other, so i have to move ethernet line to other computer when needed. For the price it may be worth a try.

Yes, how dare Amazon! Utilizing the founding principle of our economy! The nerve!! Oh wait, the price hike is over... What a terrible ordeal for a price hike to last two weeks while an item is out of stock. BTW, the price decrease just so happened to coincide with Amazon shipping the cables out again. What a coincidence. And if you want to complain and moan about Amazon's pricing, purchase one of the other cables through one of the other companies. I'm sure Amazon won't mind losing a few whiny customers.

You can purchase from Amazon price 5$ plus shipping fees about 7$ and it costs you about 12$ again. I am asking a favor to provide me this cable for my Samsung.

No. You can get a cable for ~ $10 shipped from monoprice.com I personally use these cables and recommend them to everyone.Cable quality matters far less where digital cables are concerned.
