May be other buyers got the Phopenix Gold cable shown on the picture and may be that cable is good but what I recieved from seller, was different cable. It was not Phoenix Gold. It was not gold plated and it was not 2 meter. It was "bottom-of-the-line" cable. Plus or rather minus quality of connection by this cable was pretty bad. Looks like cable was simply defective. Typical bite and switch case.
