If you've ever mounted a flat panel display on a wall, you may have been frustrated trying to connect cables *after* mounting it on the wall. I made this mistake on a TV that had most of the ports in the center rear, making it almost impossible to reach/install cables with flimsy wall mounts, leading to lots of swearing, finger pinching, and maybe a tantrum or two. For my new set I did some research and bought these cables. They can be mounted in front of a wall mount and even on larger TVs (my new 65 inch TV) they just 'hang down' enough for easy access (I bought a 1.5ft cable). The cables make a very well-made impression. for the price and still works great.
