Just ordinary HiyaHiya cables not worth the price
584593
These cables are ORDINARY HiyaHiya cables. There is indeed a hole in the metallic part, but so small that it can only be used with sewing thread, not with crochet cotton thread, for instance, although it makes a much better lifeline. They shouldn't be sold as "knit saver" cables and are much too expensive for ordinary cables.

Was thrilled at the prospect of these - three high rated, long, and affordable USB cables. Awesome!

Not so much. Within just a week of use, one of the cables is already split, and another one is headed that way. These are simply used as phone charges overnight - they aren't abused, they don't travel, etc.

Very disappointed and wouldn't recommend, especially for those who will heavily use the cables. If you're looking for cheap throwaways, these are for you.

Work fine, but there are better, higher quality and heavy duty cables for about the same price.

I have been through so many of these, and if it wasn't for their one slightly redeeming factor (length) I would have moved on long ago. So many times I thought something was wrong with the phone or wall socket or charger... and 10/10 times it ended up being these cheap cords. I don't know why Japan/Taiwan/China thinks we need cheap cables... I'd pay twice or three times as much for something that wasn't made from the equivalent of soggy toilette paper.

I decided to take a shot and ordered these cheap cables, none of them work.  Two don't work at all and the third flickers constantly.  The feel of the cable quality is very bad, extremely flimsy when comparing to other HDMI cables.  This is probably why there is no transmission even when only traveling such a short distance. I will be sticking to the Amazon Basic cable in the future for short cables.  If you need anything over 12 feet, I highly recommend Blue Jean Cables.

I purchased these cables for a typical security camera and power connection setup.  I chose this product specifically because they were advertised as RG59 (for the video signal) and 18/2 (for the camera power).  A common complaint of bargain security video cables is that they degrade the picture, especially in lengths over 50 feet.  This occurs because the video cable capacitance is too high and the power cable has too much resistance, which results in video signal and camera voltage degradation.

I know cables, and when I received these, I saw immediately that they were much too thin to be what they claimed to be, that is, RG59 + 18/2.  So, before I unwrapped the cables, I connected them to a camera and monitor.  (I also compared the hookup to another camera connected to 110 feet of a typical bargain cable, one that did not claim to be RG59 + 18/2.)  Sure enough, the picture was VERY fuzzy and indistinct.  Also, sections of the picture that contained blues were entirely black and not visible.  The 110 feet of bargain cable was actually much better.

Next, I got out my test equipment to measure the cables.  As expected, the capacitance of this "RG59" video cable was extremely high - a whopping 70pf. per foot!  For those unfamiliar with coax cables, such high capacitance (7,000pf for 100') will severely attenuate all video signals.  By comparison, a typical RG59 cable should be about 16pf/ft.

Moving on to the power cable portion (the claimed "18/2" section), I measured 20 ohms in each conductor for the 100-foot length, or 40 ohms total.  What does this mean?  A typical video camera might draw 100mA (0.1A) during daylight and 350mA (0.35A) at night.  (The greater current draw at night is required by the camera's infrared LEDs for nighttime illumination.)  What this means is that in daytime, the voltage drop across this cable is 0.1 x 40 = 4 volts.  So, if your power supply is 13v, then the camera only gets 9v to run on.  While the camera might function at this voltage, it certainly won't perform as well.

Now, look at what happens at night: The current required by the camera goes up to 0.35A due to the infrared LEDs, and therefore the voltage drop across the cable becomes 0.35 x 40 = 14V!  So, as nighttime falls, the camera voltage drops lower and lower, and cannot operate correctly.

Checking a wire table, we see that an 18ga. wire (which is what table lamps use) should have a resistance of 0.64 ohms per 100 feet.  If this cable really were 18/2, then the TOTAL resistance of both conductors should be 1.28 ohms, which would result in a voltage drop to the camera at night of less than half a volt (0.448V).

Therefore, these are not RG58+18/2 cables, and I found them to actually be worse than the bargain cables that were supplied with my video camera kit.

These are not high quality connectors or cables, but their low price reflects that.  They are a bit thin but are fine as patch cables as they are designed.  For general stereo audio use they are fine.  Too many people have been wrongly convinced they must buy all gold connection high gauge, high dollar cables.  For audio patch cables going between most stereo equipment (what these are designed for), that's a complete myth and a waste of money.  Only if you run long distances with unshielded cables, you might pickup some signals from nearby other unshielded noise sources.  But lets be realistic.  As long as you are not extending these cables way out beyond their current length they will work.  Their connectors fit snuggly and don't easily come off.

I tested both pairs received with an ohm meter and they both are providing good low resistance connections.  I use them to go from a 3.5mm stereo Line Out jack on a TV to an RCA type line-in on a preamp then to standard M-M RCAs to go to an amplified speaker system.  These cables are classified as splitters since their purpose is to take 1 of a 3 wire Line out connector and convert it to 2 of 2 wire left/right audio RCA plugs.  The shield of both the RCA plugs are commoned together.

This cable is for stereo use only.  If you have only a mono 3.5mm female plug on your equipment, you might not be able to use this cable, depending on how the 3.5mm mono jack is wired.  Buy this only for 3.5mm stereo connectors.

These are OK quality cables that should satisfy most stereo patch connection needs.  If you are an audiophile, looking for only the best quality, don't bother purchasing this.  You'll want to spend at least $20 on one cable.  But for the rest of us these cables will work great and still leave some money in our pockets.

I got 25' and 14' cables from two different vendors.  The cables were stiff, connectors were stiff.  After inspecting the cables, they were NOT made by Cables-To-Go.  It would have been nice to know that the cables they were going to ship were not Cables-To-Go cables.  Cables-To-Go cables are supple and easily unwound.  These felt like coiled wire.  The ones I ordered direct from Amazon were actually made by Cables-To-Go.  The quality difference was obvious.

Very cheap construction.  Screws are too short to actually be useful.  When plugged in, the port is considered "active" by the graphics card, but no image is displayed.  And no, I don't need an active converter for my display or graphics card.  Went to Fry's and got another cord (similar price) which works fine.  I'm sure some of these cables work, but in my case, not so.  I recommend avoiding.

First of all it is not gold plated. Secondly it drops out at USB2 speeds causing data errors. I'm not a bit happy with this cable. However for the price of $ 2.25 it's not worth returning. So the seller wins out. And I loose out. And nothing I can do about it because the seller gladly offers to let me return the cable. Knowing the shipping cost will be more than what the cable cost. Don't be fooled like I was and buy this cable. Save you money spend a bit more and get a higher quality cable you will be better off in he long run.

I needed an extra set of RCA cables so I decided to take a chance and buy these. I have a set of the best quality RCA cables from Cables For Less and detected no audible difference between those and this set. In terms of connectors, both have the same Canare connectors, only these are covered in heat shrink tubing. As for the cables themselves, you're paying extra for some fancy red and black weaving (maybe that matters to you) but underneath the cables look the same on the outside. As for the inside I'm not sure, I don't want to spend more money on cables to replace ones I've decided to cut in half.

On a more positive note, the cables sound good...they do better than basic RCA cables. But don't get suckered into the $$$ equals better cables, cables like these can be had for less if you look. Another thing that kind of annoyed me was that this is the longest length you can get the cables in. For someone whose computer is a little far away from their monitors you want some slack and I only had a very small comfortable amount.

Don't fall for the Monster Cable marketing gimmicks.  Get cheap HDMI cables like these and buy a video game or two with the money you save.

This cable is okay, but not really worth the money in my opinion. I felt like my high-end and high-mids were attenuated when using this cable compared to my generic fender cables, as well I didn't hear the cable being any more quite than what I had either. It's fine, but why pay more? I really didn't feel like I got more for what I paid for, in fact I liked what I had better. So three stars.

as the overpriced Monster Cables, don't let some salesmen tell you that a $100 cable will do you so much better as it really won't.

Really not the best cables, they broke so easily after almost no use, they are pretty but you are better off with the AmazonBasic pack.

I am never hesitant to purchase AmazonBasics brand products  sold by Amazon.  In fact, when I can order items sold and fulfilled by Amazon.com, those are my preference.  However, I dislike these cables in both the 3 and 6 foot lengths.  I purchased 4 cables, 2 of each length.  One 6 foot cable was defective and Amazon quickly refunded the charge.  However, I find that the other 3 cables will not stay inserted into the mobile phone charging port, even when using with various mobile phone brands like Motorola and Samsung.  Plus, the metal bends very easily on the micro USB end of the cable.  Maybe in this case the cheaper buy was not the best value.  I have to hold the cable to keep it connected or wrap the cable around the device to keep a constant connection for charging to occur,  Would not purchase again.

I was really excited when I found these inexpensive cables on Amazon. Thinking that more expensive cables was merely a racket I jumped on board the inexpensive cable bandwagon.

However, they are not great cables. When connected to my DVD player there was a screen flicker about every 15-30 seconds. Eventually my wife told me that it was bothering her. Suspecting that it was the cheap cable I swapped out the HDMI cable with a more expensive Phillips brands cable and there was no more video flicker.

These cables are a waste of money and I'll be throwing mine away to purchase more expensive and higher quality cables.
