Anyone tried these out?

I was thinking they would be good for breadboards, but they look like they are connected in strips of three and I can't get a close-up of that picture. It would be great if they were 40 individual strands. Also what does "Suitable with 2.54mm Pitch" mean?

'Suitable for 2.54 pitch' would imply they are grouped and the group would plug into a breadboard as 2.54mm (1/10") is breadboard spacing. That and 300mm is like a foot long, for me i'm always running out of short leads and never needed anything of that length.

I got a pack like these from some ebay seller, most useful. (Note their metric to inch conversion in the description needs a decimal in the inch measures.)

I might have to try those ones from Ebay. I have a lot of bad luck with breakage, etc on the breadboard with solid core wire I've stripped, and I was looking for an alternative.

I'm using LAN cable wire and telephone cable wire, color coded so I could have color reference too.
