BREAKOUT: FAQ's
Q. Why would I want a BREAKOUT?
A. You may not absolutely need one now but we know that you will in the long run. The life span of the breakout cable provided is very short. Especially if you are on the move alot. We noticed our supplied breakout cables would go after about 3 months of use.
