I'm sure it is a fine cable. Monster cables are fine too, there's nothing wrong with them construction-wise. But I've bought a large quantity of cables (USB, TOSlink optical, ethernet, HDMI, etc, etc) both from Monoprice and Amazon (the "AmazonBasics" ones) and all of them worked perfectly, had sufficient shielding when warranted, didn't fall apart, etc. I've literally never had a single problem with any of these much cheaper cables.

AmazonBasics are actually pretty solid, I like them. They are not what people mean when they say "buy the cheapest cable you can find". I don't buy $15 USB cables anymore precisely because of AmazonBasics, but in general I mean, don't feel bad for spending more than $0.50 on a cable.
