It's only a cable so there isn't much to go wrong. And it works fine! I didn't really need the outdoor waterproof type connectors but they look well made with a rubber boot fully covering the female end, the release catch is under the boot so it is fully protected. The only slight negative point is that the cable seemed slightly more tendency to kink than some other DMX cables. Not a big problem, but it just means a little more care is needed to ensure the cable is laid nicely without any twists when doing the install work.
