Said it before but I'll repeat it because those 2 places are the same.? (Same number). . . . I don't like Quickbit cable as it's brittle and actually think it's the same stuff they use on these chinese machines, it's certainly feels like it.

I use CSE cables. Never had any trouble with it and used 100's of meters. http://www.csecables.com/acatalog/CY-Cable.html
