This is the only cable I currently use. I was tricked into buying very expensive cables by a clerk in one of the electronics stores. I only bought two because they were very expensive. After some research, it turned out that cables are cables if they meet the specifications. These do in every way. How do I know? Because I have the latest version of Apple TV which has a cable test feature and these kids get tested every time (I like to test multiple times just for fun).
