Quantum CZ-2 cable question

The expensive CZ-2 cables that connect Canon EX 580/600 speedlights to Quantum Turbo batteries seem to last me about 18 months before breaking. Once I foolishly tried cheap $14.00 eBay clone CZ-2 cables which were so sloppy at the battery end they just fell out of the Turbo and were so tight at the flash connection end that I wrecked a 580EX-II trying to pull it out. That was a $225 repair. So much for cheap cables.

But I have read (possibly here at CR) that the Canon cables that ship with the awesome value Godox PB-960 battery is identical to the Quantum CZ-2 cables.

Can anyone verify this?

Thanks.

Got it!

Due to a tiny engineering anomaly, the Godox ProPac Cx cable (for Canon EX flash) will not plug into the Quantum battery, but the Quantum CZ-2 cable will plug into the Godox PB-960 battery.
