Default Patch cable recommendation

I need some balanced (TRS 1/4" plug) cables to run

abused, I have to fiddle with many of the connectors
to get a consistent clean connection. The plugs are
molded plastic.

I'd like to go individual this time instead of
a snake, and would probably like serviceable plugs
so that I'm not in this position again.

2 meter length ought to do it. Just looking for
the lowest price at a quality that will allow me
to connect them and forget them.

I found it was usually due to oxidation on the connectors themselves. I used silver polish with a terry cloth towel. Just go outside or the fumes will overwhelm you.
