[sdiy] Power Cable Help

[Shawn Rakestraw]

Jacob, I decided to make my own eurorack power cables some time ago and I
found connectors and flat ribbon cable on amazon for a much cheaper price
than mouser. I'm not sure how wide you need it to be. I was making 10 pin
cables that did not connect 5V or the CV bus.

Those are the connectors and cable I used for anyone that cares. I could
never find 16 wire cable on amazon and I ended up buying that from mouser
at a later time.
