They also bought a ready-made multicore snake and it looks like it's really a 48 channel but they simply snip off 8, 16 etc of the lines for a lower channel count. I think this one will also have 8 returns in it.
Will those LK-type plugs actually interoperate with the real thing? If so, I am really interested.
I see a lot of Chinese multipin connectors which are copies of Russian military types, sometimes with weird adaptations. Surprisingly, a lot of them have good gold plating, which makes me think that maybe they are from suppliers to the Chinese military. Haven't seen LK copies or Whirlwind hermaphrodite copies yet.
