The cable came well packaged in good condition with me. It is used as an audio signal transmission cable between a Panasonic LCD TV, and a high-quality CD player Technics as signal sources and a Sony sound bar as a playback device. The signal transmission is fine, it can be heard no noise. The cable provides a very high quality and well made from, is still very flexible despite its thickness of 5 mm and can be easily handled. The connectors can be snap well and sit tight in their sockets. The selected length of 1m was ideal for my needs. Am completely satisfied and can recommend this with a clear conscience.
