Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Incidentally,

the only reason why the HDMI cables were made abroad was that the machinery for terminating them was extremely limited, with originally only two companies in Japan and one in Taiwan that had them.

Again, being part owner of a cable company has certain advantages in manufacture. Check out Kimber's Silver cables, and note their brilliant shine and extremely polished appearance, even through the insulation. That is the result of using laser cut diamond dies for drawing the wire, something most other manufacturers do not deem necessary. Even the copper wire of Kimber, particularly in their upper end offerings, has a final finish that most manufacturers do not have.

You can duplicate the look and insulation and even buy the braiding machines ( Kimber themselves once sold them), but it would be difficult to duplicate the fine details they employ in their manufacture.
