* The need to have suitable ends to any cables, which would involve issues in the manufacture (and the materials used) as cable's cores must be separately tapped and reliably connected to an external length of conductive sleeving. | * The need to have suitable ends to any cables, which would involve issues in the manufacture (and the materials used) as cable's cores must be separately tapped and reliably connected to an external length of conductive sleeving. | ||
* The consistent ability of a cabler to tie the correct knot, which is a skill that will need practice. Done wrongly the electrical connections may not be made correctly, or at all (including as discussed in the title text). | * The consistent ability of a cabler to tie the correct knot, which is a skill that will need practice.

* Even if the user is a competent and consistent knot-tier, this is inherently more effort, and therefore less convenient, than the more usual practice of simply pushing two connectors together. | * Even if the user is a competent and consistent knot-tier, this is inherently more effort, and therefore less convenient, than the more usual practice of simply pushing two connectors together. | ||
* The external conducting patches of the cable are an uncommon feature of electrical junctions, with issues in both high-power and low-power situations. | * The external conducting patches of the cable are an uncommon feature of electrical junctions, with issues in both high-power and low-power situations. |
