Unassailable quality
I have already reviewed other versions of this product, but wanted to leave a positive comment for this specific length as well, because, so far, I've had nothing but good no-nonsense products from this brand - I'm slowly becoming a fan.
I bought the 45 cm flat patch only "in case" of, by any circumstance, having two pedals that far apart on the board - I learned not too long ago that introducing too much cable between your guitar and your amp harms your tone - so I only bought one unit. Amazingly, this was precisely the length I needed for a specific connection and it turned out to be a very fortunate purchase. It is a slick and competent low-profile cable which, in spite of its length, does not dirsupt the tone.
Given that they never really demonstrated any clear negative aspects, everytime I review a Rockboard cable I suggest sizes that fit my very specific needs, almost treating it as a con - which speaks a lot about the unassailable quality of these cables. Given that this one fitted perfectly in my pedalboard - not 1cm less, not 1 more -, I can only say this one is perfect. Obviously recommended.

Great design and form, not great longevity
I bought these for my pedalboard a couple of years ago, for the first few months they were great and I really liked the flat design. Gradually the cables started to fail and now after a few years of gigging all of these cables have failed. I have other brands of cable that have lasted far longer on the same board/same conditions.

Flat but not really flexible
The actual Jack plate is a bit longer thus not really beneficial on tightly packed boards.

Sqeeze a little more space onto your pedalboard
I now have various flat patch cables on my pedalboard of various lengths so everything is now nice and tidy. Does exactly what its supposed to, no noise, more space. Like it.

Classic
I tried a lot of different pedalboard cables, and Rockboard is the best for now.
I hate making cables by myself even without soldering. From what is offered as a finished product, Rockboard is by far user friendliest.

Super Slim, but use with caution
Super slim plugs that help cram more onto your pedal board, 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.

Great cables for a crowded board!
I’ve gradually swapped out all my standard patch cables for these. They get into all the tightest spaces, and are solid and noise-free performers.

Good balance of quality, price and size
Flatter and cheaper than any hand made leads. Better quality than the cheap and bulky coloured ones. Great if you change your crowded board around often. Not as robust as hand made though so worth having a few spares.
