With the roll out rack design, most of the cables needed to be from 15 to 25 foot lengths. The C2 has four each of optical and digital coax. I needed to use some of each to avoid being out of connections, and I have not noticed any differance between Monoprices digital coax or thier optical cables. The opticl has some advanatge as the cable is smaller and more flexible.
