Pluto and John.

Thanks for all the very interesting imformation,i shall always buy quality cabling but certainly not these ridiculously priced parafanalia.

Thanks Mike, 

I have been quiet for a while, the reason is that we have now come 'full circle'.

'i shall always buy quality cabling'

Only tells me that you have learnt little from the discussion that has raged around.

Also have been busy with a new 8 in 32 out Hi Res video distribution system, a professional unit that is to be used to put pictures on the monitor screens that you will eventually see on film, possibly on a massive screen, and possibly in extreme close up.

For the production to use my units, they have to be impeccable.

However in the knowledge 'that it doesnt matter', I use the cheapest cable out there, the cheapest connectors I can find, and still manage to end up with a £2K price tag. And with no distributor or retailer taking a cut.

John...

PS by cheap I mean 10-30p a connector, 5p a metre cable.
