I've purchased this cable back in December 2011.  I've used it without any problem for about 4 years.  Starting few months ago, the screen would show black and white and I had to wiggle the cable connection by the WII unit then it would show fine.  Today (2016/2/21), wiggling didn't help. I bought this back then for little over $4 and it's well worth it.  Looks like the price of this cable has gone up high and there are other options at lower price, so I've just ordered a different cable for right around $6.  Hopefully it will last another 4 years without any issues.
