It's the (Super) Sound Pipes that break - I haven't heard of sound chords breaking - different beasts.
This is what commonly happens with SSP:

I'm Gone.
I have to say that the cables I've bought over the years from NVA have been very professionally terminated. What else would you expect from someone who has spent a lifetime making amps and cables. I'm not in Blighty right now or I'd post some pics. I don't have SSP but at least I could show the workmanship. Maybe the pair pictured have been bodged at some point.
I'm a fussy soul when it comes to cables and I always check the work. I've returned cables twice to dealers because the soldering was below par. Given how many cables I've broken in my time, I figure I can't take any chances
I have left AOS.

I'm Paul.
RD has commented on the damage and your uninformed and ignorant allegations.
To anyone with a neutral perspective it is obvious that this cable has been deliberately mangled or is the result of a bodged repair. Where is the cable grip? No cable will break like that in normal usage. Frankly I think you should withdraw your comments as this gives the forum a bad reputation. We are not here to unfairly damage a products reputation based on personal issues with the manufacturer. Looks like you and figlet108 have an agenda here.I really don't know why I bother
1/ the insulation has been striped back as can be seen 2/ the cable grip has been removed 3/ they are called pipes because the outside is a copper tube so the conductor has to be long (it is semi rigid solid core BTW) in order to not short against the copper pipe of the other core.
This cable has been mangled and manipulated by an ignorant idiot i.e. Figlet108. He fitted those Neutriks, I supplied the cable with my standard connections if it was one I made. So it is either a mangled one of mine or shit poor attempt by him to make one.
Lets see if he admits it, perhaps we will see the mans (dis)honesty or what his agenda is.

Also **SAY NO** to unjust 'vaccine passports' or certificates, which are totally incompatible with a FREE society!!!
I dont think the SoundPipes ship with the Neutrik connector and the one Jason shows seems to be missing the strain relief collar:

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
Regardless of any issues I or anyone else might have with the individual concerned the recent tone of this thread is unbecoming in my opinion, and it doesn't sit comfortably with me...
