Those are what I use to very nice product

Built six LE's with them and am using the male ends for other projects.  They make for a very professional looking setup.

My only concern with these cords is the space they take up.  Is it hard to get all 16 cords out of the box?
With my SSR it is a tight fit to get 4 16g zip wire extension cords out the hole! 
With the apparent extra insulation on the cords mentioned above I was just concerned there wouldn't be enough space for the 16 outlets, up to two 14g input cords and cat 5 cable (for non wireless setup).

On the LE I don't think you will have that problem, on the SSR definitely there is no much space. Take a look in the pictures, in the LE 3 cables fit well in every hole, so in the first hole you can fit the extension cord and 2 CAT5 for sure.

On the SSRs no way will fit. I’m going wireless on the SSRs so I don’t need the CAT5 in there; also I’m not loading more than one string per channel so the input is just a SPT2.

No problem on the LE.  I did left to right:

Power + 4 out
Open Slot
Open Slot(small)
3 out
3 out
3 out
Open Slot
Power + 3 out

This leaves 2 large open slots for 2 to 4 cat5 cables running in and out on each side.  I also tied my grounds together.

The other nice thing about having the cords in there tight is it adds to the strain relief with large zip ties so the cords are not going to get pulled out very easy.
