I am very satisfied with the quality and reliability of the 10-pin I/O Power Cable . This cable is made of high quality rubber, which is not subject to any damage! This cable has a stable connection thanks to the 10 pin! I really like the price of this technical work of art! I recommend you to use this cable because it is durable.
