I bought this cable to connect a Behringer S16 digital snake to my X32 mixer. I haven't yet used it in the field but it seems to work quite happily on the reel. The cable itself is round and flexible - unlike many lumpy Cat5e cables - so it winds easily onto a cable reel. I found it slightly difficult to mate the connector with the X32 input but, once there, it seems very secure. As stated in the description, the body of each connector can be removed to expose the plug itself, allowing a Cat5e extension to be made. My only criticism is that it would have been helpful if the cable had been supplied on a cardboard or metal core, rather than simply wrapped. It would have made it a lot easier to transfer to a cable reel.
