I dont see why you laugh at an 1.5 Million Cable (there is other for 2 M on their web site too) and dont laugh at an $25,000 or 5000/m Cable that are very common these days , available from many brands.
I am on the business myself, and suggesting $5,000 or $1.5M for a cables worth is both a joke and a rip off.
Maybe some day when we discover more "super conductors" it could be justified to charge $5,000 or more per meter for an IC.
Today, it just doesn't add up
