Good and flexible cable for a handy user
The signal wire of the cable is double insulated, the innermost insulator layer around it seems to be low-loss and non-hygroscopic polyethylene plastic. The second insulator layer inside is some black and tough plastic, maybe PE-HD. Minor water or beer spills on the jacks are not necessarily going to permanently ruin the high-frequency characteristics of this cable. The double insulation of the inner signal wire also makes this cable quite tolerant for mechanical stress, being stepped on or even rolled over with a trolley every once in a while.
The grounded screen mesh or outer conductor sheath around the signal wire is rather dense, so the cable is quite resistant to electrical noise and pretty well suited to long cable lengths. The outermost rubber layer on the top of all that is quite thick, which means it is probably quite strong mechanically, even if the entire cable outer thickness is quite small.
The user could make this good cable even better by adding a droplet of superglue inside the jack, on the cable crimp which is supposed to grab the outer lining of the cable. After gluing, the cable can tolerate rough use better even if you unplug the jack by pulling on the cable and not the jack itself.
The metal cover of the jack tends to unscrew easily during use, a small droplet of threadlock or wood glue will take care of that. Because you can really open the jack cover, this cable can be repaired very easily if it gets damaged during use, unlike those cables which have molded jacks and are unrepairable.
This is basically the same cable as the 3-meter sssnake IPP1030, just longer. A good cable for the price.

Get your soldering iron warmed up...
I bought two. One broke after two days, the other in about four weeks.
After taking them apart to solder, it was obvious where the expense was spared. I hadn't stressed the cables in any way that merits a breakage of this nature. To get enough conductor the solder, I gad to dismantle the plugs, cut back, and re strip before the task of tinning and soldering could begin.
For two cables to break and require repairing within a month, is a disgrace, even at the very lowest price.

Just great
Bought 2 of them, always prefered flexible cables to rigid ones, and this fellas work just great! The connecter gets is quite sturdy and back string gives it some resistance to bending. Recomend.

Five stars quality
Thomann's sssnake cables are always the best, durability and quality wise there's nothing can stand one on one with them, specially price wise. really satisfied!

Not bad
Bought a few if these in 14. Last one croaked in 21. I'd never buy fenders leads cause they die way too early for how expensive they are. These are good value in proportion to cost. Fine for using at home. But a more robust cable at a higher price is probably better and more reliable for the abuse of gigging.

Garbage
I bought a few of them and they were mostly fine, around the 4th one I used The lead got stuck in the house pa the first time I plugged it in.
Can’t get it out , just had to cut the lead off and lose a channel!
You get what you pay for
It’s cheap thin metal on the barrel I guess it got bent slightly somehow?
It happened to me once with another Lead about 10 years ago
I have since forked out for the second cheapest leads on Thomann :D

Nice for the price
Good cable with sturdy jacks. Price is low. I could easily start a cable shop in my country simply by ordering those cables and selling them for 30% more lol. Jokes aside, if you need good 6m cable you dont need to look anywhere else.

Cheap but fail quickly
Bought three of those a year ago, worked fine in the beginning. After ~8 months the first one didn't work properly anymore; I had to turn the cable jack around to find a sweet spot where it would still work, but after a minute of playing it naturally rotates a bit, so the cable became basically unplayable. The second cable started showing the same behaviour a few months later. I know they are cheap cables but I at least expected them to last a few years, so the quality isn't good enough, even for its low price.

Perfect
Good uality and value for money. No noise and jack plugs seems solid.
