I agree if it was going on a Sea Wolf attack sub or F-15 test equipment but I sold these things for a living both Amphenol and Pyle National and while some are very expensive these aren’t those. If it were I’d also suspect someone would be way more interested in finding them. But heck, I’m likely full of hot air and talking out of my keester. Just my $0.02No, they ain't that cheap. At all. You are completely forgetting about all associated costs to build the cable for a specific purpose on a government program. Think $100k toilet seat kind of pricing.
