Okay, Could anybody help me with these cables please..

From what I have read cables don't play a HUGE role in quality and even enamel coated regular cables are enough in most cases? anyway I have also see the Canare L-4E6S Quad is very popular and usually used by everyone here, how thick are they compared to regular enamel coated headphone wiring? Can they accept and properly take(install) regular headphone 3.5mm jacks or do they need extra large expensive jacks?

Whats the difference between

Canare 4S6 4x20AWG Speaker Cable http://www.redco.com/shopexd.asp?id=544&bc=no

Canare L-4E6S Quad Mic Cable http://www.redco.com/shopexd.asp?id=535&bc=no

I am trying to get some microphone cable with reasonable international (outside NA) shipping pricing. I need about 20 - 25 feet.Which is a small amount and can be placed inside any USPS First Class Flat Rate Box for about $6. I contacted redco, their cable pricing is good but they want $15 to ship it out internationally, the price of the cable is $10 for 20 foot, the shipping is even more. :rolleyes::


So anybody with links to some more reasonable would be appreciated. Thanks :)

How much money are we talking about? You won't be spending more than 35$ for the whole deal even with shipping. 
 
7m is a lot and at the same time not that much to notice degradation. Which speakers will you be using? 
There is a difference between sizes first of all. However, for some reason microphone cables are more sensitive and better for everything and I will suggest you to get the Canare L-4E6S Quad Mic Cable.
