Sometimes it's the little things that make the difference and this cable is one of them, very well built, robust and does the job. Lets be honest, cables aren't the most exciting of things yet are a key component. If your mixer to laptop cable breaks, you're screwed and cables tend to be treated less kindly than lights but if a light breaks, you have other lights. Highly recommend this cable and would suggest you buy two for back up. Usual fab service from DJKit too that I am guilty of taking for granted but they always provide first class service.
