I'm very happy with this and it has lasted very well...I like the bright colour options too,easy to locate and follow and it hasn't picked up as much dirt as I expected,its still largely yellow!
Another pro is the metal jack which can be unscrewed for maintainance...I've had to resolder one connection and wrap the cable in tape both ends where the black shrinkwrap broke but its an easy fix with the scrrew together jack..secure with a bit of nail varnish on the threads.,.
Its had a fair bit of use and so far no crackles...a good value cable...!
Only downside is that it seems to knot up more easily than some others I use,even other braided cords...
