I'm a member of the AES Standards Committee Working Group on Connectors, 
and the Working Group includes representatives of major manufacturers of 
audio connectors, most notably Switchcraft and Neutrik.  Likewise, 
virtually all major mfrs of pro mics are represented in the Microphone 
Working Group, of which I am also a member.  Most of these manufacturers 
have major problems with counterfeits of their products, and dimensions 
are only one of the characteristics that don't meet specifications.

Yet another reason for sticking to known quality manufacturers (and 
reputable distributors who buy direct from those manufacturers, not 
counterfeits) of this sort of product.
