If you are using the best cable, why would you not use the best jacks ? <span id="🙂">

<div dir="ltr">I got a great deal on a spool of mogami w2944, so time to revive the patchbay project. This is console wire, so has a very thin OD of about 2.54mm:

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I foresee this causing some challenges with audio jacks that are designed around much beefier wire.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm curious if anyone had suggestions for preferred (1/4") connectors for this kind of thing. I have a samson S-patch plus, so no TT or bantam jacks for me just yet.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I suspect the recommendation will be heat shrink tubing + neutrik jacks. I would love to hear what you think.</div>

<div>PS: if anyone has some spare jacks or heat shrink you would be interested to sell, let me know!</div>
