    See depends how you look at it. Will it make the cable perform better? No. But then neither do the diamonds around the edge of an expensive watch.

    The gold is just there so you know it’s a quality cable. It’s like a rolex fibre cable.

      Does the Rolex do the chief function of a watch (keep time) better than a $30 Time ?

      So you’re saying what it really does is communicate that you’re a superficial asshole and/or sucker.

        Well. I wasn’t really thinking of a rolex specifically. Just comparing the use of precious metals or gemstones on a watch that doesn’t increase the functionality in any way, in the same way the gold plating doesn’t increase the functionality of the optical cable. But it sure looks good.

        So I guess, yes. Lol.
