I purchased a few meters of this for making my own patch cables. Since it is thicker than most other instrument cables, I expected it to be quite stiff, so I was surprised by the softness and the flexibility of it. It is not like one of those cables that act more like a spring than a cable. Also, it is relatively easy to work with in terms of stripping the outer jacket, removing the conductive shield and then stripping the insulation of the inner conductor, which is much thicker than on most other instrument cables. If I had to name one downside, I would say that the braided shield takes some time to unbraid with a toothpick or something similar, so for those who want to save some time and do not mind paying a bit more, I would recommend the Cordial CGK Road 75 cable. Judging by the specifications provided on the Cordial website, it is exactly the same cable as the CGK 175 (same conductor diameter, same capacitance, same thickness, and so on) but the CGK Road 75 has a spiral shield instead of a braided one, so there will be no need to unbraid it. Since I only needed three cables, I did not have an issue with spending a little bit more time on that, but those who plan on making more cables, might want to consider this factor.
