Be careful with this. I have a bunch of cables like that and with enough cable 
usage the heat strink will slide down when pulling the cable out of a jack. The 
heat strink would probably have to come down infront of the plug to help 
prevent that, but then who knows how well it will seat in the jack, not to 
mention that you won't be able to open up the plug to fix it if needed without 
destroying the heat shrink.

I could be wrong, but that sounds like typical ugly cloth guitar cable.  When 
will somebody provide glow-in-the-dark patchcords?  I think Horizon makes GID 
cable.
