To clear things up, the limited-production 'Snakebite uses the original DiamondBack wire--that had been on hand for special lengths of the original model, with the tinned-copper foil shield and clear sleeve.
The difference between the 'Snake-bite and current production DiamondBacks are two-fold. One, there is a second, tinned copper braided shield on current production DiamondBacks, and Two, the 'Snake-bite does not have the premium silver/rhodium/Gold(male) contact plating on its connectors. These differences determined the lower price of the 'SnakeBite.
Hope this helps clear up any confusion.
