Customer Review: The Reviews of this product is dependent on the TVs of the reviewers...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a high quality cable. The molding of rubber is high grade. The mold of the connector casings are first rate as well. One of the prime things to consider when buying cables of any sort is to think of the points of stress during a bend, and, these cables are very thoughtfully designed in that regard. All seams are very tight with high tolerances and reinforced points. Also, the tapering of the inner part of the connector creates a limited range of motion for the wires thereby reducing the possibility of breakage. The actual connection pins have redesigned profiles that allow for slightly better surface area connection for better transfer rates. It's typical to see Apple redesign something as mundane as a cable so thoroughly as this. A lot of parts of the design could have easily incorporated industry-standard specs, but, for Apple, their designers love to redesign things from the bottom up, from the wire grade-material-sheath ratio all the way up to the connecting pins.
In any case I think if you know what you are doing then these cables are perfect for you. A lot of the bad reviews has more to do with the labeling on the box then the actual cable. It is not so clear that if it will work as normal RCA cables, which it won't. To be clear: THIS CABLE WILL NOT WORK THUR THE NORMAL VIDEO/RIGHT AUDIO/LEFT AUDIO RCA plugs. There is another Apple cable out that takes care of that. This cable is designed for HDTV split RGB/AUDIO channel plugs. And, even at that, there are some TV manufacturers out there who advertise as such but they aren't HD. They are hybrids and offer sub-class quality, which these cables will not help much for.
