They are not MK and will not be of the same quality as MK sockets.

I am not sure about the MK M2 connection. I see the list is from CEF, I asked the CEF rep why they could never give me a good price on MK gear and he said something about CEF and MK not getting along. CEF had to buy MK products from other wholesalers, which meant they could not beat anybodies prices, except maybe Homebase Grin

I don't know if it was a load of bull or even if it is still the case?

My advise would be to steer clear of CEF unless you want to pay a premium (not just on MK gear but most things).

We rarely use CEF. Only if we need something urgently no one else has that day for example. They are hugely over priced on all their kit and give (us atleast) little or no discount. They cannot touch the prices our other wholesalers give.

As for M2.. looks like that cheap make RRP?.. or whatever it is. The switch modules usualy come away leaving you with some nice shiny brass contacts - LIVE ones that is.
