Curly leads?

[DavidU]

After reading so many posts about bent or broken lead plugs/sockets I wondered why folks don't use more flexible curly leads.

That's a good question, curly leads would probably be no less prone to interference than the flat items most people use, FWIW I've been using a curly cord as a line cord (as distinct from handpiece cord) on my test telephone for the past 15 years, same cord no problems, gets used regularly.

Ahhh but where can you get curly lead?

Only readily available as 4 wire curly handset cord, we have them at work, the longest stretch to 8 metres.

Ok.... now tell me you want one Mr Ponders...:P

I'll take a few :D
They will be great to make replacement cords for Losmandy DD and for GPUSBs ;)
