Multiconductor cables + sheilding

[DCMagnuson at aol.com]

Hi List,

I'm planning some mods for my SH-101, and I've decided that I'd rather put 
the new knobs on a seperate breakout-box, instead of carving dozens of holes 
in the case.  I'd like to connect the two with a 3'-4' (1m) cable.  I'm 
hoping to use a single circular multi pin connector, and I'm trying to  keep 
the 101 functioning as stock without the breakout box connected.

First, most of the signals on the cable will be CV, not audio.. so I'm hoping 
it won't be very susceptible to noise.  I will only have 2 audio lines 
(external audio inputs to the filter).  I have some cable here that I 
scavanged, and I was wondering if it would work well. It's 8 twisted pairs 
(26ga) all surrounded by a single foil sheild with a drain (100% sheild 
coverage).  Will this provide enough sheilding?  Will I need to worry about 
crosstalk?

Also, can anyone recommend a brand for the circular multipin connector (with 
twist-lock)?  I only need 2 jacks and 2 cable connectors, so cost isn't a 
huge concern.  I'd like the connector diameter to be less than 3/4" if 
possible.  I was looking at the Amp "Series 4" multipin connectors.  Any 
experience with these?

Thanks in advance
