Every one? You're not exagerrating for effect here? Every single one of
30 Neutrik-equipped cables you've owned has broken? Brother, either you
got some seriously bad luck, or this is a case of incomprehendable user
misuse.

Every single mike cable I've ever owned has failed, or will fail someday
in the future.

Incomprehensible user misuse is what music festivals are ALL ABOUT.
