It's pretty hard to get this one wrong. But it seems there's always room for improvement. The connectors are solid but entirely plastic; I prefer the ones that have the metal screws. The "beige" is more of a light grey. And my biggest complaint was that the cable was taped into a coil. First, the tape always leaves a residue which is sticky and collects dust eventually turning black. Second, you have to use a knife or scissors to cut the tape which always runs the risk of slicing the cable. For these reasons, most cables sold today are coiled with twist-ties. I wish I could rate the packaging separately from the product (product = 4 stars; packaging = 2 stars).

I needed this cable to flash a firm-ware update to a surround receiver. Unfortunately, Harman Kardon still requires this old tech. Amazon had the cable for best price, and with fast shipping, I am very happy.

Durable, cheap, good length. What more can I say, it's a standard DB-9 connector. I used it to interface a PIC24 with a MAX3232 chip and a Linux PC, works fine.
