HISTORY:
Sustainability is the name of the game! Anything (that has been tested and still functioning properly) should be repurposed creating saving in wasted Ee and reducing the poisoning our environment when items are buried in the earth at the local tip needlessly.
Never heard of Ee? It is a concept that creates a measurement of ALL things (not just electronics) that humans have made and the energy used in obtaining the raw material, processing the materials right through to a finished product and even should include the shipping of the item to the distributors/retailers.

SWITCHCRAFT high quality/high reliability products are used widely in the professional audio industry, particularly (but not limited to) in conjunction with musical instruments, patch panels, general input/outputs. We ALWAYS used SWITCHCRAFT product in our studios for these reasons and they never let us down. Sure, there are cheap knockoffs around but when the job is mission critical there was no way we were going to risk using 'other' jack plug products. Always look for the SWITCHCRAFT name and other identification stamped into the metalwork!
