Digital Coax, other use?

I upgraded DVD palyers and my new player has Fiber out only. I now have a Monster Digital Coax cable that I am not using, is there another use I may have for it? Can I use it for VCR connection to my tv or some other life for this pricy cable?

You can use it anywhere you require a 75ohm cable; e.g. a video connection.

Audio cables are typically higher than 75 ohms; while it will work, it is not an ideal use.

How is it not ideal? If someone doesn't have bionic ears nor a million dollar system, it will work 100%. If it works 100%, then it's ideal enough, no?

actually, it will work fine for a sub cable. i wouldnt suggest it for an audio interconnect, but for a sub it works great. they have a very high bandwidth and great shielding, its built almost identical to a sub cable.

you wont be able to tell the difference, even with a $million system. (a $1 million system probably wouldnt have monster though).
