Finding appropriate cabling for our various hardware oddities would be easier,
indeed, if folks could just get the nomenclature straight. After all, given
that the price of the cable, or the necessary components, is going to be
painfully high, it would be comforting to know that one had specified the
components correctly.

You're lucky. Not even the local Fry's carries them. I have to special order
them at exorbitant prices. For that matter, I haven't seen any 13w3 cables
at the local Fry's either.
