What would be the best 1/8" male - 1/8" male to be used with both the Einstein and AB800 using the Pocket Wizard II? Would it be considered mono or stereo?

I use this Pocket Wizard cable:

But then I discovered this too:

http://www.flashzebra.com/wizardcables/0062.shtml

Either one would work fine, though the one from Flashzebra seems to be a little fat on the straight plug compared to Pocket Wizard's. I prefer a 90-degree plug on the strobe side to relieve cord stress, and not have yet another cord sticking out the back of the unit. I've actually damaged the 1/8" connector on my B1600 from bumping the sync cord on a wall. Ever since getting it fixed I have always used 90-degree plugs.

I dont know about the PlusII specifcially, but most Pocket Wizard brand remotes require a mono cable.

We also offer these cables: http://www.paulcbuff.com/cssc.php
