seen this on slickdeals.net, passing it along..

cut'em in half and get 2 cables out of it.

7.99 (free ship), use coupon MLC40042250P to get half off, 8 / 2 = 4.00

Just keep the length in mind.
1.5M is like 4 1/2 ft, so if you cut that in half....well, it gets short.

Great idea, just don't whack it until you know how much you need.
Not a technician . . . . just a DIY'er.
