Unless I got a defective unit, I found this cable to have the same problem as the other one-star reviews have cited. The product just doesn't fit snugly enough to work. When I hold the cables in, they work just fine. However, I cannot even set my equipment back in their shelves without the cables popping out.I've been trying to connect these cables to my Yamaha receiver, Sony Blue-Ray player and Samsung TV. It just doesn't have a snug fit on any of the products. Disappointing after seeing overwhelming positive reviews. I'm returning it.
