The cable is really high quality and I was surprised how much better it felt than other cables I have had from OEM Lenovo to Belkin. I can't believe I had paid so much more for a Belkin before. I have never felt a cable like this before, it has a very cool high quality braided exterior that remembers its shape sort of like memory foam. Looks to be high quality that will last many years. Great product and great company also as I have bought from them before
