blame apple for having 1 crap port

why the hell do macbooks only have 2 usb's in 2013!!!

Macbooks have nothing to do with this cable :-S its designed for Ipads.

For the record I never found 2 USB ports anyway limiting with a half decent hub.

~$100 cabling has absolutely nothing to do with signal quality to any real meaningful degree. Yeah, sure, there might be some marginal aliasing that might get smoothed out a bit, but not anything really meaningful. The real reason you spend ~$300 on cabling is the actual quality of the cable, wrap, and terminals. Cheap cables work fine, but investing a relatively tiny amount in making sure your connections are always solid isn't actually a half bad idea.

People are just so desensitized to disposable, static, consumer lines that they look at anything made to last and think it's ridiculous. The Monoprice lines I've had for a month are currently shot, and could very well go out on me. In a bedroom, nobody cares, but in a modular professional/touring setup, people really underestimate how obliterated cheap cabling gets really quickly, especially in hostile environments (90% of professional setups). Investing what I spent in cases protecting my gear in solid, borderline immortal lines isn't actually ridiculous.

Yeah, sure, you can get a disposable Chinese plastic mould for a few dollars, but those terminals and shielding have maybe a month in them on the road before they fry on you in the middle of a rig. Getting boggled by mid-priced cabling is like getting stunned by the fact that people spend ~$500 on cases.

Yeah, but we're talking about reasonably priced high end cables, say mogami, and reasonably priced high end connectors.
Not the nordost/furutech 9000$/meter stuff..
