Bought last week. High-quality impression. Cable to be quite stiff, but to lay well. The connector also look high, but they are not. Outwardly they seem stable and solid, but the following has taught me better: Have this cable used to connect my laptop to the TV. The cable has been inserted for at the rear side. When a problem with the audio output on the front panel I tipped the laptop about 15 ° without power to the rear. This pressure on the plug of the HDMI cable was enough that he gave. And true. It came to tear the gilded connector portion and dissolve inside the angle deflection of the male portion of the pin-shaped contacts. The cable was completely destroyed by this minimum load in its function. I want to again emphasize: The laptop was not inclined with gross motor backwards. And even if this is physically dealing with leverage, it is not sufficient to disassemble a connector such as!
My opinion: This must not happen, because there was no brute force is at work. Otherwise, I think: If you close the cord to a stationary device, which is not moving, it does an excellent job determined. That's why even 2 stars.
