the sssnake SMK 222 BK

I was hooked by the low price - by far the lowest on the website - but when it came to building actual cables I struggled to strip the ends as the outer insulation is quite rubbery and my cable strippers didn't work: I had to use a knife (which I didn't remember how slow it made everything).
Also to the touch the insulation isn't very nice: it's almost "sticky" and it feels like it will pick up all sorts of dust and dirt on stage.

I haven't used the cables live yet so I cannot attest their durability, but I probably won't buy this product in the future.


Also a warning: the cable is too thick to use with the Neutrik connectors (I've personally tested the NC3MXX and the NP3X). You can manage, but the strain relief is really pushed to its limit, and also the hole in the back boot is really stretched. I'd recommend a thinner cable if you plan to use these connectors.
