Re: At about $20..

I bought 2 on ebay... a sonicwave and something else. The main difference between the two was the number of strands (65 vs. 260). One of them I could not dinstinguish it from a platic monocore sonically. The other one presented more "grain". When I looked at one end while passing light through, I could see strands, and light intensity was very uneven across the section and never bright. When you look at light through a mono-core plastic, it looks like a LED and it is intense. I understand that theoritically glass optical cables are much better, but I am not so sure about the cheap offerings we see on ebay or partsexpress.
