I bought this cable for my wife. She is very picky about the cables and I change them all the time. She uses them where she sits, tangles her foot in them and rips everything off the table. She managed to damage this a little while still working, so I contacted the company. They quickly sent me a new cable and so far we haven't had any problems with the new one. This is the best cable I have ever bought and it has lasted longer than any other.
