Umm, "Colette" isn't a part of a cable; it's a person's name. Long-ish story how it came to be associated with Schoeps' remote-capsule arrangements. But it sounds similar to our word "collar" and I guess some people think it refers to the neck of the capsule end of the cable, or maybe some other part--I can't always tell.
What I do know is that I've used Schoeps active cables on literally hundreds of live concert recordings since the 1970s and have never had a failure with any of them. I haven't always treated them like porcelain dolls, either.
