 Mr. Ehlardt:
I don't wish to annoy, but a good heat-shrink sleeve material and
decent  plug/cable connection will not have problems such as you
describe.  I have been using 3-M heat-shrink tubing, Switchcraft 280
plugs, and Belden 9778 cable for years with no difficulties in
applications far more destructive than modular synthesis.

In my estimation, Mr. Hendry-Stooge that he is-can certainly be
trusted  to find an MOTM-worthy supply of patch cables for those
unwilling to make their own.  Personally, I like making patch cords. 
It's a bit like knitting for me.  Very calming-much like stomping an
irritating manager or the like...

Chub-spending way too much time under flourescent light lately.
