you just cut the end off the cable, stuff it into the jack and tighten a little screw at the side..
I've had this lead since 1980 and it's only needed repairing about 2 or 3 times..
simply cut off about 2" and then re-connect it..
it is my oldest and most reliable lead
Again, you just cut the ends of the cable off and screw the set screw in and off you go. So far they've worked first time every time. No complaints here.
The jacks appear to be very well made and don't look cheap at all. I'm really quite impressed.
I appreciate the buy buy cheap buy twice sentiment but the price for the brand name products is eye watering and I do wonder how much of that is the name and originating the concept.

Don't know what the other designs are like, but after my experience I'm sticking to soldered cables.
Rayzm/Harley Benton style – (2 x Rayzm and 1 x Harley Benton branded but same design). I tried the HB ones first and got them to work eventually but one lead has failed since, 1 pack of Rayzm went together flawlessly and worked first time but the 2nd pack ordered at the same time have been a nightmare.
I can't trust them and am currently waiting on a load of flat EBS pre-made cable to rewire my board with (can't go normal pancake as layout is already fixed around the smaller Rayzm plugs).
They work by the set screw cutting through the cable outer to contact with the inner shielding but mine haven't been going quite far enough in to break through. Also seems quite a tenuous connection is made even if they do work.
The Hellion ones are working but a nightmare to wire up, 2 or 3 attempts on each plug. Fairly rough on the hands too when screwing the back into the plug. I'm stuck with these as they're being used on the top row of a Helix's loops and I haven't found any other style of right angle plug which will sit over the lower row of jacks.
id always go soldered, but then I’m pretty good at soldering and always do things like IR testing to make sure I’ve got exactly what I want
