Subject: braided cable

Don't be a wimp! It only takes 1 minute to unbraid a half inch end of
a cable using a straight pin. Your patchcords will last a lot longer
and be less noisy than foil shielded stuff.

A drain wire normally implies a foil shield, which normally implies a
not particularly flexible cable. A cable with a spiral shield should
be almost as easy to terminate as cable with a drain wire - cable
with
braided shields are obviously a little more work because you have to
unbraid them. In general - Canare and Mogami both make nice flexible
cables and are usually available in various colors. Canare cables
tend to use a braided shield where Mogami uses a spiral shield.
