Of course they are mass produced, probably somewhere in China or Korea, but very obviously, the parts aren't screwed in place, but simply mold-injected together after clicking the wires and connectors in place. Setting up a small or large production line for simple six wire cables is easy. If you really think they are hand-crafted, simply compare them to 6 ft (1.8 m) 50 wire SCSI cables with High Density connectors, which are sold for the same 15 or 35 euros that buy a simple 6 wire FireWire cable of exactly the same length and *much* cheaper connectors. I still stand by my initial point of view, that FireWire cables are simply overpriced. And indeed, EUR 15 is still way too expensive. Jeroen
