I didn't know Polk made super expensive cables....
Googled it and it does look like a snake skin -
I have a 8' pair. It's okay for its age, about 30-40 years old. I terminated one end with banana connectors and the other is bare wire (it looks like a solid wire soldered on the end). The plastic sleeve is a bit tacky for some reason. It's the green and copper colored round cable that has a diamondback pattern on it...

I just read this article the other day.
This guy loves the Cobra speaker cables and offers some background/history on them.

They are also listed as #100 in Stereophile's, One Hundred Most Important Audio Components list. This speaker cable along with Bob Fulton's "Fulton Gold" cables started the idea of wire and cables making a sonic improvement.
