This is a great USB cable that does its job.
It is not "super soft" (bends are visible, as usual) or super thick or super beautiful in any way. It just works well and looks sturdy enough to last.
Interestingly, I tried using this 5m cable with additional 1m USB extension cable and it first worked, but I would loose all sound from my USB sound card after about 20 min of playback and only restart of the soundcard helped. As soon as I dropped the extension, the problems 100% went away, So it works and there is not much more to ask from USB2.0.
