The Shunyata Research OMEGA-X-Ethernet Cable
@frank009   Frustrated with you? You’re grossly mistaken pal. I'm sitting here amused with your little charade and deflecting away from the evidence of Brian’s credentials. And, I’m certainly not going to learn anything that I need to know from yo...

@frank009 "Please allow him to speak for himself" Get off your high horse telling people what they can and can't post.   What I posted presents his credentials , too bad that you put your foot in your mouth.
