The need of trusted cables is manditory, we can't risk wrong signals in the oil and gas industry, we have what is called company standards, we have to follow them all the way and any missmatch in this standards may cause us seriuose trouble, this kind of cable was reccommended from our design team based on standards, but I think its a little costy, and I'm trying to save money for our company thats why I'm looking for other brands that may contain the same specs. but cheaper.
