I admit that 1) I'm not an expert and can only offer an user perspective, and that 2) I'm old and thus often amazed by technology. However, how they manage to build such good cables inside such a small space is beyond me! Besides, there are not many cheaper options for this kind of slim patch cables. They are all over my pedal board, where I currently have 16 pedals with minimal noises - less than with the apparently sturdier and more expensive cables I had before I found these.
Lately, I have been looking for ways and details to upgrade my guitar rig in general, but especially my pedal board, and didn't really felt the need for new patch cables yet. Actually, I found more expensive versions of these Rockboard flat cables (the gold and the white ones) and must admit I'm curious, so I might give them a try in the future, but their price puts them in the same range of the evidence audio cables, which are very very hard to beat. Having recently upgraded to an isolated power supply, I will assess the difference it makes before thinking about better cabling, but it is the next logical step.
For now, though, these are doing their job very well, having recently been themselves an upgrade to my board in terms of organization and tidiness. I would go as far as saying that if I wasn't afflicted with GAS, there would be no valid reason to spend more money where I'm already well served. Therefore, I still recommend.

Great Product
I am in love with these cables. They are durable and they don't cause any problems of noise whatsoever. Plus, and it's a HUGE plus. They make you save tons of space on your pedalboard.

Get the Harley Benton instead
Get the flat patch cable Harley Benton instead, because this one has square corners, so it has some issues when having two of those really close by on the same pedal, they have to be really parallel to one another.
The ones of the Harley Benton brand have rounded corners so it is easier to get them together close by on the same pedal. Just a little design issue. If you just gonna have just one Jack on your pedal or if the jacks are further apart then it's fine.

Super Slim, but use with caution
Super slim plugs that help cram more onto your pedalboard, yes ... but not 100% reliable. I found them to be quite sensitive to earth noise and/or interference - sometimes producing noise if I tap the connector top or roll the cable between finger and thumb.
However, it depends upon the installation and much of the time they do the job without fuss and, of course, without taking up too much space.

Lightweight
I think there are better cables, but I' m currently happy with these ones. They are nice flexible, lightweight and the connectors are flat, so the effect pedals can be no so far from each other.

The perfect option for saving some space
I built my entire pedalboard with these cables as they not only have very flat heads, but very flexible sections too! I can run up to 20 of these without any kind of tone drain.
Now I can put my pedals very close together and the switcher at the bottom of my pedalboard doesn't take so much space.

Slim, flat and reliable.
Have all sizes from 5cm to 30cm on various pedalboards. Must have quality cables without breaking the bank.
