Nah man, these were terminations from companies like L-com, molex for a little while, etc.

You're absolutely correct otherwise, but we spent money on what were supposed to be reliably engineered products by large connector companies. The wire was supposed to be good stuff too. I was a lot younger so I don't remember the exact details honestly.

Oof, that sucks.

Yeah big brands can screw up too, I had several spools of coax fail once, and it turned out the whole batch had a problem. I'm just glad no one pulled first, tested later.
