this seems well-built and will be the next one i try. 6.5 feet so it can actually go up over my head and reach to the bottom of my pants pocket unlike the 4' cable i previously tried
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=30362the good thing about most mmc-x cables is they are built with enthusiasts in mind so at least they have twisted pairs/oxygen free/the proper amount of snake oil, so at least there is some standard vs the super cheap off-the-shelf $1 mini to mini patch cords where the molded end eventually craps out on you
this doesnt really solve the microdot connection issue, microdot to mmc-x cables are over $40 a pop. cheaper to build ones with dedicated fixed microdot cables since those cable ends will need dedicated circuitry to work with the d:vice anyway
