I use the cable as a connection between my laptop and my television. The cable was used to quickly and well packed. The quality is great and all in all I can not complain absolutely. Some people have written that your cable has been damaged due to oftes plug. I can not confirm yet. I have cable now about 6 months and insert it about 2 times a week in the laptop. So far, no problems. The only thing I can imagine is that these people are on the cable itself pull out the cord or the plug grip. Now that's pure conjecture of mine.
Conclusion: Good and acceptable pricewise cable. Was absolutely no fault buying for me. Can recommend it to anyone!
