Would people feel better if the advertising copy read some thing like:
We here at [insert brand] know that there are consumer groups with too much money, and don't really understand the cost of everyday products (overpaid actors, sportspeople, and rich kids), and audio nuts who think the cost of a product somehow magically relates to its ability to improve sound. So, we here at [insert brand] have released an ethernet cable that is capable of operating in the GHz range to relay some simple audio data; even though the typical audio range, and our audio equipment only reproduces the 20Hz to 20KHz range. All that headroom can't be bad - can it?
The cable contains the barest minimum amount of the cheapest quality copper that we can use to transfer electrons and have it called a network cable. The quality cable sheath is made form recyled cars tyres, but has direction arrows printed on it to prepetuate that myth that electrons can only flow in one direction.
We have our manufacturing plant in Indonesia create these special cables using their accurate, but hopelessly dangerous machine to cut the cable and crimp RJ45 connectors with all the care and love it can muster. Our underpaid workers then caringly coil the cable and stuff it into a non-recycleable overpackaged container, so that you can add to the landfill problems in your country. The quality of the connectors is so high that as long as you don't replug it more than three or possibly four time, the .05 cent RJ45 connectors should (might) last at least until the warranty period expires, or until you remove the cable from its packaging.
We know that you will enhance your audio experience by using a cable to connect your equipment. So, it might as well be one of our ridiculously expensive ones. You get free bragging rights with every purchase (until we can figure out how to charge for those as well).
