As a touring DJ, I always travel around with my dj-gear (cd-800mk2->2000->2000nxs->2000nxs2) and never have either of the six 1m cables that I have failed. I use them to connect the cd-player digitally to the mixer. Cordial generally hold a high standard, but an analogue rca cable and an adapter (rca m * xlr m) have failed me earlier.
