Can't handle high current without voltage drop

If you're only powering a 12V 0.5A device then you're probably fine. But if you're using it for 12v at 2+ amps, this isn't what you need. The cable gets hot, a voltage drop will most likely cause your device to stop working or work intermittently. If you move 5-24V more than 50 feet, you will get a significant voltage drop. You will likely make your own cable using 14 gauge copper wire (aluminum or copper-coated aluminum, which is likely to introduce even more voltage drop).

Pros

High marks for tester support and durability

Cons

Not as thick as other options
