For my use this item has worked well. However, the item I received was not the end of a locking cord as described or pictured. If this is an important reason to buy a cable, check it out right away. I used it in my country house for a pool filter, unfortunately it took many weeks before I had the opportunity to get there and install it. The cable I received was exactly what I expected, but it was molded into 3 connector ends by default. Since I cut the cable in half and used it as a decoupler for the pump motor, which was originally hardwired, it worked really well. Twist-lock fork ends were what I wished for. All in all the cord and molded ends were well made and will do the job.
