My son received a catalog from some high-priced outfit selling high-end audio equipment. I noticed in there that they had a section devoted to cables of various sorts: coax, optical, twisted pair, etc. Except for the speaker wire sets, all cable lengths were described in meters only (and usually in whole numbers), no equivalents given in feet. The speaker wire sets were described in feet only.
My impression is that the optical/electrical cable industry (at least the portion aimed at computers and multimedia) is shifting to rational metric or metric only labeling. Jim -- James R.
