In all honesty, the best extensions are soldered. You don't have to worry about the connectors coming apart or anything. Just snip the wires about an inch apart from each other so that the soldering and heat shrink are spaced apart. If you work for a tech company, just ask one of the rework people to do it for you. Thats how I have been doing my extensions for years and no problems so far.

Cheers,

Sebastian
