Patch cable recommendation

I need some balanced (TRS 1/4" plug) cables to run

molded plastic.
I'd like to go individual this time instead of
a snake, and would probably like serviceable plugs
so that I'm not in this position again.
2 meter length ought to do it.Â* Just looking for
the lowest price at a quality that will allow me
to connect them and forget them.
A brand I've had luck with is Livewire Advantage. They use
Neutrik ends. I bought a knot of TS cables of that make
in 2012 and haven't had to do anything to any of them.
I'd call my case "gentle use"; obviously rough use will
be different.
They're not the highest quality cable possible. For your use case -
presumably line level - I doubt that matters much at all.
Livewire Advantage seems always priced just above the cost of doing
it yourself. It's just easy to order a bag of new ones should they
fail.
