We needed a VGA cable for our camera security system and the cord needed to be 8 or 10 feet in length. We looked at the two major retailers (W & T) and they both only had 6' cables for $20 - $25 each! WHAT?! We were a little nervous about buying the cable on Amazon because we wondered WHY it was so much cheaper (we paid less than five bucks) but it turned out to be exactly what we needed. We're still scratching our heads about the price difference and are glad we shopped around for this product. It's exactly what it looks like and works as described.
