59 inches.

That's not so bad, right. Just under $10 an inch. Surely it's incredibly. Surely.

Coincidentally, my going rate is also $10 per inch.

My favorite feature:

"The connector features a rounded plug lever to prevent bending or breaking and direction marks to indicate correct direction for connecting cable."

Some of those reviews are priceless.  I started to quote my favorites, but there are too many.

Hell. I need one of these. If I hook the cable up backwards I can listen for hidden messages in my music!  :ye_gods:

Cheaper to just burn your mp3s to cd and then use one of these:

It gets me closer to The Lord, June 11, 2008
By  G. P.

If I could use a rusty boxcutter to carve a new orifice in my body that's compatible with this link cable, I would already be doing it. I can just imagine the pure musical goodness that would flow through this cable into the wound and fill me completely -- like white, holy light. Holding this cable in my hands actually makes me feel that much closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. I only make $6.25/hr at Jack In The Box, but I saved up for three months so I could have this cable. It sits in a shrine I constructed next to my futon in Mother's basement.

I only gave it four stars in my review because I can't find music that is worthy enough to flow through this utterly perfect interconnect.

Someone is selling a refurbished one for $999.99.  Say's he's replaced the copper with high quality platinum.

I didn't even know there was an aftermarket for cat-5 cable.

Can't wait to see what the Cat-6 cable specs are.
