Rating: - You don't always get 'more' when you pay more
As far as the value you get for your money, this cable is somewhere in the middle between the monstrously pried Monster HDMI 1000HD Ultra-High Speed HDMI Cable (2 meters) and some of the cheaper alternatives such as Mediabridge - 6ft Ultra-High Speed HDMI Cable - 120 Hz - Version 1.3b Category 2 - 1080p - Blu-ray - PS3 - W/Nylon Sleeve.
Any and all HDMI 1.3 cables can carry up to 10.2 Gbit/s. Hmmm... I suppose the Monster is much better, right? Well... it "guarantees a certified cable bandwidth of 10.2" Okay, but the Monster also supports "x.v.Color, and Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD". It turns out that, all of the above, and more, are part of the HDMI 1.3 specs and they are fully supported by every cable that complies to the standard and can be had for about 90% less in the Mediabridge. The expensive brand presentation simply enumerates the HDMI 1.3 specs as if it being HDMI 1.3 compliant was a really big deal. It is not a big deal. Even a cable that costs 95% less is HDMI 1.3 compliant.
My suggestion: if you think that the proponents of the expensive brand have a point when they claim that their product is a lot more durable, buy TWO Media Bridge wires and still pay almost 80% less than you would pay for one of the expensive ones.
My personal experience: I've never paid 'a lot' for an HDMI cable because it makes no sense to pay more. I took home one of the 'expensive' ones once because the salesman promised to take it back if I wasn't amazed by the difference. It made zero difference and I returned it.
My suggestion: if what you need is a cable that you plug it in and you are likely to leave it there for a long time, get the cheapest brand you can find from Amazon. You can always return it if it comes with broken pins or it does not work (never my experience so far). You will save money and you are going to get the exact quality of picture-sound that you get from any other HDMI wire, regardless of its price.

I purchased this cable to connect my Blu-ray play to my router.
They were almost 35 feet apart.
I tried a wireless connection and that didn't work.
So I purchased a 35 foot cable.
Connected the two. Turned on the player and got a message that it was successfully connected to the Internet.
It works like a charm.
I was very pleased with the delivery time and the condition of the delivery.

Before ordering these cables I read all the reviews of every equivalent cable on your site. The product quality is excellent in every respect and I highly recommend them. The new Sony KDL52XBR6 I bought the cables for has a brilliant, razor sharp picture from the HDMI connector on the Directv HD receiver. I haven't bought a Blu-ray player yet, but when I do, I expect to connect it with one of these cables.

I ordered the Cables Unlimited 10 meter 1.3 HDMI cable and received a Cables Unlimited PowerStrip extender (1 male plug two female extenders)instead! Very frustrating! But AMAZON agreed to overnight the replacement cable...still it is interesting that I'm the second person to receive the incorrect item when ordering this cable! See other review.
