[sdiy] [semi-ot] making patch cables with thin console cable.

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:

I foresee this causing some challenges with audio jacks that are designed
around much beefier wire.

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.

I suspect the recommendation will be heat shrink tubing + neutrik jacks.
I would love to hear what you think.

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