If you never have to move this cable once it's attached, you'll be fine. I use it in my class to connect my computer on my desk to my LCD projector on a cart that drives two thirds of my class so it rolls up when not in use. The cable twists too easily, but lasted longer than a similar round cable (it gets stepped on because in my area our projectors aren't ceiling mounted. I used to have to replace the round cable every semester). So far this cable has lasted a semester with no sign that I need to replace it.
