the sssnake SXX8050

Bought this one and some longer versions of the same product for occasional connections from stagebox to iem rack etc. but was quite disappointed to discover that the sssnake connectors don't fit other basic industry standard sockets and connectors. A very uncomfortable situation to be in during a live setup, to discover that you're missing about 16 channels of multicore due to compatibility. I also took a look onto the soldering and with just a little pull the connection gave and broke immediately. As a first impression it looks good and has very handy numbering labels for quick connecting but just take don't give in to the cheap price and buy or make your own solid cables with Neutrik connectors.
