I've been more than happy with this cable. I have a spare bedroom converted into a home office and have been working on getting my keyboards and synths more integrated with my computer - my goal is to have a space where, when I have a musical idea, I can quickly get it put together and recorded. I use this 25-foot cable to run from my audio interface over to my music station where it connects to the first device in my MIDI chain. So far it has functioned flawlessly!
