I too have had good experience with APPs and the rigrunner - hate those
Molex connectors.
The way I use the APPs is to make up a short (6 inch) cable with a
connector on one end matching the equipment - that usually stays with
that piece of equipment, but I have spares for those too. Then I make
up a goodly number of extension cords with an APP connector on each end.
Chose the length to match your application - whether portable or on
the operating bench. The extension plugs into the rigrunner and then
goes to the equipment vicinity. I have extension cords in 10g, 12g and
16g sizes and fuse the rigrunner for the equipment on the far end (but
never exceeding the cable wire's capability).

My experience is quite opposite from what has been mentioned.
Finally, I'm replacing the Molex connector on the back of my IC706 with a
set of APPs because of my problems and the fact that mount for the Molex
on the radio has failed and the connector is now hanging loose.
