Sturdyness, durability, reliability - if that's what you expect with your digital connection, then you must have this cable.
I use it to connect Behringer X32 with S16 digital snake. It's a must to have your cable connectors enclosed to XLR-M-style housing like this, because you don't want someone to trip over your cable and ruin everything you do behind the mixer.
The cable is also wrapped/insulated in material that doesn't allow it to bend or tangle easily, and this also makes it feel less prone to damage if someone steps on it.
Yes, it's more expensive than a regular CAT5 cable, but nothing else brings peace of mind with digital connections like these. I also have one extra, you must be prepared.
