I got 30 cables for $150 all under 3 feet. Prices vary with length and
quantity. The ends are switchcraft and the cable is USA-1. The ends are
all soldered and then heat shrunk under the phone plug cover. Very rugged
and priced right. Is the switchcraft jack as good and the $2 Neutrix ?
Well not quite, but it is plenty good enough. Far superior to crapola from
RS and such. AND, you don't have to spend 1/2 you life soldering cables.
