Maybe if you stopped ripping and yanking cables, they would last longer. I
have MANY 40 year old audio cables that still work fine. I have 10 year old
USB extension cables that still work fine.
I have a 90 year old E. H. Scott radio (that I have owned for 53 years) that
has the original AC cord and plug.
When ARE you going to grow up?
I do tech support for a living, and consequently, I see a lot of other people's tech; computers, peripherals, cables.
And so many of them are so badly treated.
I've got cables I've had for literally decades, and they're clean and perfect.
