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.
