I bought it because it was the cheapest 25 feet one I could find. But it just stopped working suddenly when I plugged it in to my laptop, 2 weeks after I bought it. When I first got it. I noticed the metal part of the ends were kinda lose from the casing on both ends. Now side seems to be even more lose than the other. I guess it wasn't built for use in a dorm room environment, being plugged and re-plugged multiple time a week. If your just gonna plug it in to something and leave it there forever maybe this is for you. If you are a relatively heavy user, probably not.I guess you get what you pay for.
