MOTM

Just be sure wire ends are unstripped. We had an episode awhile back (not
sure if you were around for it) in which a bunch of defective cables got
shipped because the supplier screwed up and stripped the wires, which
promptly started falling out of the connectors as soon as you breathed on
it.
