Each pair is individually jacketed and has a 100% foil shield.  Authentic Swiss Neutrik "D" series type connectors on a low-profile steel box with raised edges to protect the connectors. XLR returns on the box and fan.  Channel number ID behind each connector.  Metal mesh strain relief/grip on box.  Metal mesh cable bale on fan end.  Hand soldered connectors.  Because the wire meets NEC specs for permanent installations, you can run this snake behind walls, ceilings and floors without conduit (check your local fire codes).
