Default Audio snake recommendation needed

I need to run an audio snake to and from a 24 track 2" machine, in and
out of Pro Tools. 25 feet long with XLR connectors on both ends. Any
recommendations for which company to use? Whirlwind, Rapco? Has anyone
had experience with Altona snakes? They seem well made and reasonably
priced. I cannot afford Monster cable.


Is this for permanent in-wall installation, or in a studio where it's never
going to be moved, or for a field application?

Whirlwind, Rapco, and Gepco all do fine work, and Markertek will make you
a snake from Canare snake cable for a reasonable price too. The problem
is that the cable you want to select depends on the kind of handling that
it's going to take.
