I use a mix of these and the other type of patch cable (by the same company, Sommer) with the flatter, space-saving connectors. I can't fault them. Very robust, very well made, and astounding signal clarity. I only ever buy Sommer stuff now, for the price-point you really can't go wrong at all. Other brands at the same price-point just can't touch these. Don't take my word for it, though, invest in a few of these to try out, and pretty soon you'll be ordering a whole set to replace your entire rig's cabling, just like I did. You will never look back! :)
