The physical qualities are also important. If you get a cable that tends to get all kinked up when you try to put it away it can break the conductors. A s the former President of a live sound company were mic cables by the hundreds were taken off of a spool and put back on night after night by idiots that would work for free just to see the show this is important.Never take a mic cable and wrap it around your arm to roll it up. If you're using a few hook them end to end and roll up on a spool.
