Has anyone else had a problem with the cables stiffening?

I have not. I did have a problem with the plastic surrounding the internal cables separating after about 6 months (those were the cheaper ones.) For these particular ones, it's only been 2 months and my volume is starting to go in and out of my left bud and I never play it at full capacity. -(

As of yet I have not had a problem with them, but it hasn't yet been a year.

I also have the unit and love it...have not had any problems with my cable....I would check on Goal Zero's home page..they may have replacement parts.

Are you sure the cables got hooked up during assembly? There should be a drastic difference

I have used my cables a few times, but not have had a rusting problem. I would suggest you contact Security Chain Company. Also, if there is a lot of salt used in your area it would make sense to rinse your cables and if possible, hang them to dry.

I noticed the thumping sound soon after I got mine and realized it was the cable bumping around. I decided to run the cable through my shirt and the thumping when away.

I've had mine for about two years...maybe longer and mine never unstiffened. I love them to death, but the cables are horrible. Note : they still work

My cables are covered from the weather and from vandals. I would call swann support team and ask if it is resistant.

I had the same problem . It doesn't slide very well , and has a real snug fit . The way I do it is peel the center piece apart and lay my cables down on the bottom peace and just snap it together. It takes some time , but I will say they work great for me. Good luck.

This happend to me as well. I didn't contact the company, they contacted me after the harsh review I left them. They released a series if defective cables. They replaced my cable at no charge at the request I send them the defective cable at their expense and change my negative review. Got my new cable and have had no problems since.

I didn't have this issue. Amazon customer service is usually pretty helpful. Try returning/replacing them. There's a good chance they won't even ask you to send your current set back.

I purchased mine in December, 2012 and constantly disconnect/connect cables. Still strong and have that feeling of lock at the end when plug it in. I am totally happy.

No, I've not had that problem sorry. Time to contact the manufacturer I would say.

So far, no. There has been no such problem. Have you contacted the manufacturer about it? If not, why not?

No, the cable is not stiff at all. The flat shape of the cable was a selling point for me since the shape resists tangling and tying into knots.

I have two of them and have not experienced any such problem. I would suggest that you exchange them.
