As other reviewers have said, unreliable connections. Get the Monster Cable IP400M-3M instead. Very good quality.

It's hard to rate some things about this cord, like features, but it was exactly what I needed to plug my mixer into my sound card. I've had this cord for 3 years now and I've had no trouble with it at all. If it ever putzes out on me, I'll update my review, but so far, so good!

These Hosa adapter cables have unreliable solder joints. I've bought two of them that I have to jiggle around to get a reliable connection. Hosa needs to improve the quality of these cables.

have bought twice this year...one side goes out. i only keep buying it because i haven't found another brand that makes this kind of y-chord.
