No, if you read the previous linked posts, the petals are made out of very cheap cast material that does not bend, they break off.
The Monoprice designer knew that this slit petal design looks almost identical to excellent slit petals found on cables like Amazon Basics. See photos, the Amazon are great (they also have flexible cable jackets and a thinner plug) the Monoprice are stiff crap. So, not just a poor design, but devious. If their was an award for worst and most evil RCA cable, this would win.
