Topic: Canare question

[bluewingolive]

I just ordered a set of Canare's from B&H.  15ft. XLR Star Quad.  What I got in the box from them was something called Comprehensives.  Comprehensive Video Group?  Did a quick search and they appear to be a retailer of audio gear.  Are these re-branded?  Nothing on the package refers to Canare.  I'm planning on getting a decent set in the future....so should I just keep these for now?  Lemme know your thoughts.  Thanks.

Canare makes bulk cable and connectors.  They are not in the business of making cables.  Mostlikely a third party using canare bulk cable and neutrik connectors

Does the cable itself have anything written on it? "Canare" for example 

In the UK at least, Canare used to supply premade XLR, jack and BNC cables, as well as pre-cut lengths of cable and separate connectors, in branded packaging. I haven't seen any for several years - since Canare's distribution changed. All their later pre-made cables over here were fitted with Neutrik NC3_XB XLRs, with earlier examples using Canon/ITT XLRs.

It's some time since I last shopped for cables in the US but CVG (Comprehensive Inc.) used to be a big distributor/retailer of all kinds of audio/computer/AV/etc. stuff. They used to sell Canare cables - both bulk and pre-made - maybe that's what you've got.

(I just had a look online and found this )
