Not reliable
I ordered several of these pro snake patch cables with different lengths. Over time and several uses, lots of them broke. Some of them even after just a few days of use.
Because of this, especially if you have lots of pedal in your pedalboard setup, these would not be reliable. If you want to have your pedalboard transported to a gig and when you unpack it to work perfectly, these are not for you since they are not reliable and therefore not build to last.
In my case, I need lots of patch cables to run all my pedalboard in and out through the switch (14 patch cables). That's why I moved to another type of patch cables, in my case, after some investigation, some EBS PCFs. Never regretted the change.

Solder job is iffy
Ordered 4 of those, one solder point already broke. The cable is very neatly wrapped and it looks like high-quality work. Which only meant that I had to dig in and destroy the wrapping before I could fix my cable.
The wiring was barely long enough to touch the contact point. It was held together by a small amount of solder and the aforementioned wrapping.
The jacks are fine, I like them. The cable is a bit thin and it wobbles around, even with the wrapping trying to thicken it up. It's very easy to put strain on the weak contact between wire and jack when you wobble the cable. It needs more wire touching the contact pad and more solder.
Would not trust them for serious gigging. I will be getting into all of these to inspect and strengthen their soldering, which defeats the purpose of buying pre-made cables.

To be clear. This is NOT the same quality as other more expensive patches and adaptors. But I bought them to have as a backup to get me out of problems and be able to finish my gig. And the do exactly that.
If I'd need something top quality for studio jobs I would choose other adaptors or make my own.

Simple, effective patch cable.
I bought these to connect my guitar effect pedals. So far they still work fine. Don't know if I would use this quality for gigs, but in accordance with the price : value relationship I think that's understandable. As of right now, if I needed more patch cables for home use, I would buy them again. As usual Thomann delivers accurately and speedily.

Good cheap patch cable
It's sort of what you'd expect when buying a cheap patch cable. It's light on the wallet, does the job that it's supposed to do and the build quality is neither the best nor the worst. I got a couple of these and used them on my pedalboard when I was starting out and they worked fine. There was a slight audible hiss, but it wasn't that distracting. However, once I changed the cables (and nothing else) the hiss was gone and it felt like the tone was also a bit warmer. All in all, it's a good cheap product, but if you have the opportunity to upgrade I'd recommend doing so.

Not the best...but grand for the price
I got a few of these as spares to keep around. The jacks feel reassuringly weighty and the cable is thick, which is good.
These are perfectly fine, audio-wise. They're not gold, obviously, but you wouldn't expect that at this price anyway!
My only gripe is that of the three or four of these I got, one of the jacks turned out to be a bit crooked, causing unwanted and unnecessary wear on the sockets in my pedals. As they are so cheap I just replaced the jack, but it seems the quality isn't the most consistent. Nonetheless, for the price, I'd probably take a chance on these again.

One of the two cables I've ordered is defective
I had ordered two cables to connect a couple of guitar pedals.
One of the two cables is defective insofar that it distorts the guitar input when playing loudly/harder.
An audio cable like this one is supposed to transfer the audio signal flawlessly.
The other cable works just fine.

Sturdy, but not very flexible
Bought these to connect a mix of side and top-jacked pedals but they are quite awkward to make fit. The length of flexible cable is only 18cm (once you subract the jack and the reinforcement) so bear this in mind when deciding if this is the right patch for you.
They are very sturdy - I'm a rough player and I have not managed to break one yet.
If this pedal will fit the space you need, it will last you a long time, but the number of spaces it will fit is limited

Okay, not the best quality
This served its purpose and was worth the cost, but I would recommend paying for a better quality cable at a higher price for longevity. I don't regret purchasing this but probably wouldn't buy one again.
Pros:
-Cheap
-Angled connectors
Cons:
-Flimsy Connectors
-Failed after a couple of months use
