I use these for connection a digital mixer with a digital stage box. They do their job perfectly and are robust. I have had them for more than five years, and so far they are holding up just great. In my opinion, it makes no sense to spend too much money on a cable when it is for a digital signal, but on the other hand if it is too cheap it will quickly break. I find these to be at the perfect price and quality point. In a jiffy, they can also be used as mic patch cables, so if your setup changes you can still find some use for them.
