This listing uses stock images for reference. Why? Because this item is New Old Stock (NOS) sealed in its original factory packaging. We have chosen not to open the vintage box because repacking these cables without damaging the original box is often impossible. By keeping it sealed, we ensure you receive a pristine, untouched part.
