Do not recommend, not reliable
I ordered several of these pro snake patch cables with different lengths. Over time and several uses, lots of them broke. Some of them even after just a few days of use.
Because of this, especially if you have lots of pedal in your pedalboard setup, these would not be reliable. If you want to have your pedalboard transported to a gig and when you unpack it to work perfectly, these are not for you since they are not reliable and therefore not build to last.
In my case, I need lots of patch cables to run all my pedalboard in and out through the switch (14 patch cables). That's why I moved to another type of patch cables, in my case, after some investigation, some EBS PCFs. Never regretted the change.

Good, but...
So let me say firstly - I like these patch cables. They seem very good quality. I have not issues with noise or bad connection, so from a sound perspective they work well.
I do however have issues with the use of the cables. The wire is very stiff, which maes bending in tight spots a bit trick. Furthermore the sleeve of the jacks seem excessively long. I guess this is to protect the soldered connection but it means you have 2 centimetres at each end which are angled to the surface of the pedal. In most places on my board I have managed but there at a few spots where the cables cannot be packed away but arch up from the board. I think I will try an alternative solution next time. They are reasonably priced so try them out if you have space on your board. But for a tight space, I'd look elsewhere.

Quite Stiff
I suggest to think about what kind of eqp are you willing to use with this and in which position.
Because of both stiff metal connection points, it is not really flexible to connect mixer and audio interface. The jacks has 90 degree position and mixer has plugs on the top but interface has plug on the side so I cannot place them next to each other. I always have place one of them on top of something else to keep that angle.
Last but not least, I bought two cables and they are not in same length. One is 1-2 cm longer so that also makes connections looks weird.
Functional wise, all is in order. I have no complain but if I realize this before I will prefer to order Jacks without metal parts.

Not a fan
Not a fan of this. In 2022 there are better patch cables!

One of the three ordered turned out to be defective
Unfortunately, ground and signal are shorted in one piece. Determined this with a multimeter when the entire pedalboard stopped working in the connected state

Not bad
This is not a bad patch cable, though the ends where loose when it arrived, so many not the best quality.

It seems to last
It feels like a durable thing in the hand.
Maybe a little bulky. Takes too much space between the pedals.
I prefer the flatter ones.

It works fine!
Ideal for connecting your pedals. It is ok and has a clear signal clarity.

Fair quality the price. The connectors are too big if you need to save space on your pedalboard. If not, it's a fair product.

Okay, didn't last too long
This served its purpose and was worth the cost, but I would recommend paying for a better quality cable at a higher price for longevity. I don't regret purchasing this but probably wouldn't buy one again.
Pros:
-Cheap
-Angled connectors
Cons:
-Flimsy Connectors
-Failed after a couple of months use
