I think the the "failure in service" issue is a good point because it probably illustrates how poor is the construction of many of the (probably cheap) cables, and how easiliy they then fail during/after installation - and so how useful it would be to have some sort of cable tester around to check them out. OTOH, find that when you receive, and/or [I]before [/I]you install, those cables and you can save a lot of time, trouble and swearing! PS: Amazon has just refused to publish[I] (not that this surprised me - it's happened before with similar "negative" reviews!)[/I] the review of the failed-on-receipt 0.5m cables that I tried to post a day or so ago because it had failed to adhere to "[URL='https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201929730']the following guidelines:"[/URL] - probably the section called "[B]Be Helpful and Relevan[/B]t", [I]presumably because it was not "helpful" to Amazon themselves, as opposed to potential customers :rolleyes:.[/I] [/QUOTE]
