All cables have a lifespan. Usually any cable eventually will fail usually because of failure of the connection between the cable and the connector, mainly because of repeated bending. Some companies will advertise what they call the "bend lifespan" of their cables, aka how many times you can bend the cable before it fails. However, eventually it will cause the failure of the cable.I believe the correct engineering term is "cyclic loading".
On the other hand, static cables may not be affected by this, in that case they will probably fail because of corrosion.
So, paying 100s of $s for a better made cable will only expand its lifespan but it would not make it indestructible. On the other hand, what is a point of an indestructible cable, when, most likely than not, it would be absolute in a few years time?
