Great value, but wires don’t last

I am using these cords to make a square to round cable to connect an old FM transmitter to a new FASST or FHSS Futaba transmitter for training new pilots. Works fine, but the cables develop a short after a while of use, the cable quality isn’t all that, but it was enough to train three pilots. For the cost they are great. The square connector can be found with a jr plug separately that I disassemble and resolder. The short occurred where the round connector attaches. Will try to be more careful not to rest the transmitter on the cord and see if that helps.
