Cheap and useless for lamps and lighting accessories

Don't waste your time or money on this item, very poor quality, can't be used 15 feet away, the outer case stretches so much that it takes 4 inches to move to force the other end to move.

Pros
  • Convenient item
Cons
  • No automatic

Ordered the same part from another manufacturer, works great.

Product broke right after installation. My fault is that I missed the return window so there are no returns. It's up to me Ordered the same part from another manufacturer, works great.

Cons
  • Requires outlet

Cable slides easily into housing

This cable fits perfectly and works very well. I used it to control a hydraulic switch on a dump truck. The cable slides easily into the housing. I was concerned because I had to make some pretty tight turns, but it still worked pretty smoothly.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

The outer shell is too weak.

Not very well. At 15 feet the outer casing is not rigid enough to prevent bending rendering the inner wire unusable. Maybe work on shorter lengths. like under five feet with no sharp turns. If you want control at 15 feet, buy a cable with a very hard outer shell, not this one.

Pros
  • Fair performance
Cons
  • Difficult to say

Don't buy these

These are poorly made universal cables. I bought 2 of these cables and after straightening them out I decided to do a push pull test to see how they perform. They didn't stretch smoothly, and when I squeezed, one of the cable sleeves popped out of the crimped sleeve (see photo). Do yourself a favor and stay away from those Dorman cables. I returned them both.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • High Price
