I purchased this cable to connect one of the DVI outputs on my computer's dual output video card (using a DVI to HDMI adapter) to my flat screen TV across the room at about 20 feet to connect distance. I bought the cord long enough (40 feet) to easily run it along the walls so it doesn't get in the way. I am very impressed with the quality of this cable. It has some kind of fabric wrapped around it and looks very nice. It's easy to run around corners and doesn't seem to have much "reel storage"; that is, it rolls well even if it has been twisted for some time. This cable appears to be quite thick and durable. It worked flawlessly for my specific purpose. I don't pass audio through as I need a sound injector, so I connect computer audio to the cable, but I use a separate cable with ground loop isolator and RCA pigtail to pass the audio to the TV/entertainment receiver. I am satisfied with this cable and can recommend it. I would buy another one if needed.
