Correction: There seems to be 3 generations of the Monster M1000i Interconnect Cable. I have the 2nd and 3rd generation.
2nd Generation: Gray jacket with the following lettering:
"Monster Cable. Interlink M1000-2.0 Sonic Reference Standard High Resolution Precision Wound "Total Bandwidth Balanced" Audion Interconnect Cable with MicroFiber. 1 Ft. Signal Flow ->"
3rd Generation: Charcoal-black jacket with silver-lettering: "M-Series. M1000i. Ultimate Performance 3-Way Bandwidth Balanced Time Correct Multi-Twist Audio Interconnect Cable with MicroFiber and PFX by Monster Cable. 1 ft. Signal Flow >>>"
Hope this helps.
Cheers
