I am glad to see someone else preaching about red (technically its 
magenta) cables. Something in the plastic dye used to get that "hot red" 
color does not cohabit well with the copper in the cables. I've known 
about it since the early 70's when the Japanese CB radio's all had a hot 
red color of wire in their mike cables. The failure rate was 100% in 
about 2 years, or less for the truckers, you could shake the copper out 
of the end of a cut off piece of that wire as a rust colored powder. It 
was no longer a currant conducting wire. We replaced them with Belden 
cables, but then demand had Belden buying Japanese too.  At one point, I 
had over 50 CB radios waiting on mike cables at Norfolk Two-Way Radio in 
Norfolk Nebraska. To this day, I still say to replace them with any 
other color, black sata-III with latching clips are best but still hard 
to find, the id10t filling your order doesn't care what color so you 
have to get downright snotty when sending a 10 pack of the red ones back 
for credit. Maddening when you gave the phone sales person taking your 
order instructions that they could be any color /but/ red.  Yet I've 
been called out on THIS list, for mentioning that the red ones are time 
bombs.
