Got this to use in a portable dac set up with my phone as the u end would alow the cable to go to the dac in my pocket. However, this cable is super stiff. So it's not useful in any application where flexibility is needed or desired. It is so stiff if you were to bend it a lot I think the outer sleeve would wrinkle and become separated from the inner cabling.The concept it great but it broke after a week. The silver connectors came looseI bought this cable to use with my Lepow portable monitor to have the cable not sticking straight out the side of the monitor. works amazing!! high enough bandwidth to run full framerate and power the monitor with 1 cable! works great!This is a great cable at a reasonable price. The angled plug is exactly what I needed, and the cable has a quality feel to it.Doesn't support video outWanted a power cord that blended into the iPad more and didn’t stick out like the stock power cord. This works great! Using it with the apple supplied power block. Have not received any error messages that accessory cannot be used. Highly recommended!
