I ordered this LFE cable with a splitter to add to my new SVS sub and move the existing sub into a corner. the connector was VERY tight but this is a plus and I do not have worries about it coming off easy and it "clicks" into place. I was using an audiophile grade cable before but switching between them there is no audible difference and the quality appears on par for a fraction of the price. The cable is thick, gold plated, has colour coding but doesn't have the price of most pro grade cables. I'm sure if tested properly they may find some small quibble why it isn't a true audiophile grade cable but for us mortals who cap the price of front speakers to $2000 or so these cables are a great deal for their quality, price and performance. Now I hope media bridge reads these reviews because now I want you guys to make a 35ft hdmi with Ethernet FLAT cable to run to my future projector install, I don't want to pay 5x what you guys may charge for some other companies cable that will not be any better. 

Question: What is the appearance of the connector?
Answer: the connector was VERY tight
