Much better to use a specific purpose cable than any old general purpose one just sold by the metre as if nothing else mattered.

Sounds like an excellent idea for a low cost base business with very high margins. Don't forget to offer red, gold and platinum options for each type of cable with appropriate differential pricing, say $1000, $2000 and $3500. All you'd then need is a shed (aka manufacturing and research facility) and a glossy web site with testimonials, homely sounding CV and a load of convincing technical information. The first million should roll in quite quickly. Wish I had the necessary entrepeneurial spirit.

Seriously, you're not far from the truth with that description.
