When I ordered them just after the new year, it was $124 shipped for two data cables and a command cable pair. The data cables have increased in price by $100 each since then. Maybe that is why my email isn’t getting answered?
They have “one left” command cable pair on eBay for a lower price. I am tempted to buy it except I already paid them for another one.
