How good are the end connectors, as far as quality? Do they hold up after many plug in and unplugging, or if the wire is knocked into will it seperate

The item I have held fast even if I snagged the wire. I am satisfied with the cable I bought.

I have unplugged it and plugged it in numerous times and it has remained reliable, fast and amazing.

I wish I could answer this question. Since there are many combinations of ports and settings on my equipment, I found myself plugging in and unplugging the wire several times. and before I was able to find the right combination I broke off one of the golden tines on the plug. Probably operator error rather than faulty plug, but sad, never the less.

Quite good. I've had issues in the past (e.g. a pair of Logitech UltimateEars that failed at the jack and at the bud connection) but the ERs have shown no sign of wear in the cable/jack after 8 months of use.

I had no troubles with the connectors whatsoever.As long as you push in both ends well,it should definitely last!

I will have to check. Only one end needs to be powered. We were using them for sending POS DATA back to a pc, ended up pulling them out and installing a serial over cat5 instead to clear up some intermittent issues we were having. You may not have any trouble with them we had kind of a special setup I think is why we had issues.

It's a common problem with these, the solder job isn't the best on these. Once you resolder these they're pretty reliable. I don't ever complain about this cause its a sub $20 mic. A few fixes on these and they aren't that bad

If you can keep all the units from not unplugging from each other. The connector tends to become loose from the plug that goes into the wall. I have thrown it out.

My experience is that each is good for one use only. When I was done with one and I unplugged it something broke inside and it never worked again. After the first one broke I was very careful unplugging the others. Didn't help. Other than that, they work well.

I used one of these in a home built tobacco kiln. The cable is quite long already, but if I recall, it's just a two conductor stranded cable, maybe 20 gauge, like cheap speaker wire. I didn't crack the housing open to see if the end is easily detachable, but you could probably just splice it right in the middle if you need to add length.

If the cables will run the complete length then you can leave them plugged in. If you will have cables only going part way down the length and exiting, then you would have to unplug them. You can leave the cables in place, just unplug them from whatever they are plugged into. Again the shape of this is a 40 inch line sheet that wraps around the cable. All along the sheet it has holes in it to feed the cable ends through.

I can't really answer this question because mine broke after I plugged it, when I went to unplug it and it broke apart.

No, this is very durable. I've moved it around, plugged/unplugged it multiple times, and it works perfectly (after almost a year).

It is a high quality, name-brand part. I have not had any problem with plugs fitting loose. Eventually any socket will get loose with age and abuse. These should last several/many years before failing.

I bought these mid-April, 2013 and haven't had a problem with rattling or loose insides. I use them in Israel and it's a Very tight fit into a wall outlet but OK in an extension cord or a thing to make one outlet into two or three. I did have an issue with one breaking when I tried to put it in the wall and a piece got stuck. I had to replace the outlet. The prongs are very tick.

No it's pretty good, they reached the first one I received which had a faulty plug but the new one has had no issues. Works as described.

I grab the wires with a bullnose pliers and pul them into the plug very tight, trim the wires and then pull them back in just a bit before crimping. That way there is no chance of any crosstalk. I've had no problems.

I hope this does not happen to me. I've had mine for about 6 months. After use I dry plugs on both ends so it does not deteriorate over time. I have not had to remove parts for any reason. SORRY! Best of luck.
