Why am I not surprised?

Most important to me

Good manufacturing quality.
Adequate screening and good 360 degree screen termination.
Effective Cable Strain Relief
Mechanical robustness (especially the connector latching mechanisms).
Tool less reusable termination technique for repair using same wire gauge.
LSOH compliance.
Fluke tested to relevant spec
