You can take my word on it ! There is no mechanical or electrical
difference in the couplers. Though there may be a screen or shield on
some.
I do agree though, that the construction of some couplers leave a lot to
be desired. You might also find that the crimping of the plug can also
affect how well the two mate. I recall having some problems with
cables that were stranded flexible but the plug was intended for solid
wire. I ended up cutting the bad plugs off and replacing them with the
proper ones.
