Just some cheapo plugs + IC cable from my local electronics shop (Jaycar).
The breakout box is so i don't have to keep switching the cables between my speakers + headphones to my soundcard. When the headphones are plugged in the speakers are automatically disconnected .
I braid for way different reasons than the rest of you, but can my new cable still join the party? Topped $100 in connectors alone, but this cable makes my life so much easier that it was definitely worth it.
Pardon my asking and possible stupidity but why do you have so many connectors... or more likely what do you use that cable for

That's the extension cable for my balanced 5.1 surround 'phones. (Just kidding)
When televising a sporting event that snake organizes pretty much every audio connection necessary for the announcers' booth. Mics, IFB, two-way intercom, and talkback, plus 5 extra lines to use when needed, just to keep things tidy.
I see the concept behind putting it in your carry on bag if it has 100 dollars of connectors and who knows how many dollars of cables
The airport security must ask you what that thing is though :P
Anyone who thought to steal it would probably be clueless as to what it does also :P

If you ever do it again I would suggest running down to the hardware store and picking up some rubber grommets for the holes in the plastic case. It'd be a shame to the box cut through the cable and cause a short.
Here's a little ditty I whipped up tonight for the silent auction at the Boston Head-Fi Meet in a few weeks.
