When I ordered this item, the photo showed a different design from the current photoCables Unlimited Zip-Linq Male/Male Retractable 3.5mm Stereo Cable, one in which the plugs were at right angles from the cable, which I thought would avoid the problem with accidental disconnects I'd seen in reviews of other retractable cables.So, the cable came, and it looked like the current photo with the design I was trying to avoid. Despite my misgivings, and despite the fact that other cables with the current design were less expensive, I did not return the cable.I only used it twice before it stopped working.A complete waste of money.
