uhhh... what is quad and tripple build?
and honestly I would of been happy with the $10 us mouser wire, its just 
the shop said this is all they found (after 3 months of them apparently 
'searching' tho I highly doubt they spent more then 1/2 an hour.... when I

said, without a credit card its kinda hard to buy from these places)
