I needed a few longer xlr cables to carry signals for P.A. and was a little governed by budget , so far so good , noisless and reliable , good quality connectors and a decent cable, the cable does seem quite thin but to be expected as the cheaper option, so treat it well , being long would be more prone to tangles so use it sensibly and wont be a problem, I have been using more Cordial cables for their reliablity , top quality connectors and reasonable price
