That's interesting, do you have a P/N for the wire/crimps/crimper that you used? The only failure we had this year was a student getting a bit too excited over cutting cable ties :| However this year we had the luxury of set-and-forget electronics, most cables were installed once in their permanent position, so they weren't stressed too much.
