Ever think it was the installer and not the cable? Sure the part could be a defect, but it could be your install as well.

Don't know, wasn't there. What went wrong w/ the new cable? I mean did it just snap? Have you taken it back apart to see?

Where did it split. It wasn't routed too close to the header was it?
