Bought to connect my old monitor to a MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) as older MacBooks don't support HDMI. Works perfectly. The length of the cable is perfect for my home setup where I use it most. I have a longer VGA cable that does the dirty work of routing it from my monitor under my desk and through an accessible cable slot in my desk, so this length works for me. I've had it for a little over a month and haven't had any problems so far.
