In short, the cable was red, rubberized and inexpensive. As it is then arrived with me, I have only once made two steps backwards, as it has yet quite transpired. Even now, after five weeks, it still smells, which has led to that I store the cord outside under the canopy. When working in the garden falls from the smells of the cable nothing on, so that an impairment does not exist. Aside from making the cable which it is intended. By gum, I'll clean all corners and edges and the lush red can still be seen in long grass. In addition at the end is as shown, a lid attached to the jack, which makes at least the impression of a splash protection. It closes clean and also sits firmly in the socket, so that unintentional opening of the lid can be ruled out. Since I have not yet made practical test on the splash protection, I can only give the visual and tactile impression.
Who has the ability to store the cable outdoors or in a shed (or whom plasticizer vapors do not mind), I can recommend the cable slightly rude, especially for that price equivalent is hardly to get. However, anyone who is sensitive to these fumes should look alternative but after a (well-known).
