Is this pre-made Neutrik Speakon cable a good choice for my SDA interconnect?

Hi all,

I have a pair of SDA 3.1TL speakers on their way to me this week, and I'm buying the parts for mods/upgrades etc.

I bought these Neutrik jacks for the SDA interconnect:

and these gaskets:

My plan was to make my own interconnect cable but I saw this one on Amazon today and it seems like a great pre-made solution.

It's 12ft rather than the 10ft l'd prefer, but 2 extra feet is no big deal to hide. It uses nice heavy gauge wire (12AWG) and has genuine Neutrik 4-pole connectors, reviews seem to be good etc.

What's everyone think? They aren't the exact 4 pole connectors F1nut recommends, but are they suited to purpose you think?

    They work great on CRS+ and SDA-10B's with stands even.
    Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists.

    So I read a few more threads on DIY SDA cables and found the reason for the exact connectors recommended here (NLT4FX-BAG) is that they're in the STX line, the only speakONs that are airtight with "weatherproof protection to IP54 in mated condition".

    I'll grab some of the NLT4FX-BAG at partsexpress.
