Conservatively rated at 8. there is one thread that got stuck and pulled out which could be easily cut and tied, I have never bothered to do so. Never left my house, and the 1.25M is a great length as these have very long strain relief. I never thought I would sell these, but they are a bit too long for my passive, and I just don't need extra cables around. Shipped International Economy reg. air for free, or if CONUS can ship after Xmas from within USA for free. $450
