Greetings, greatly stupid little 'borg. Today's language lesson is designed to
edify you and your craven ilk.

Interconnects are the ***finished*** cables that human beings used to connect
electronic hardware.

Cable is one of the components of interconnects. In addition to cable, the
materials list for interconnects also includes terminations (little pieces of
fabricated metal) and methods of attachment. The terminations take a variety of
forms and the attachments are either chemical or mechanical.

You may now resume picking your nose in Macy's front window.

The professional audio world has never heard of interconnects.
Neither had the domestic hi-fi world until a few years ago. We
connected our components with .....now what was the word.......? :_)
