I checked four local stores in my area for this cable and they all wanted a very high price for this item. I checked the Internet and found I could get it for only 1/3 the cost of what my local stores wanted. So I purchased it through Amazon, and with the freight included, it only cost me a third of what my local stores wanted. The cable is of high quality and works great. The connectors on the end are easy to operate, no problems. It sure pays to check the Internet for prices on an item before buying an item at your local store.
