[ModularSynthPanels] Re: Shielded hook up

2008-10-27 by Mark

While it isn't the best (it's only about a 60% braid) and isn't the
smallest (RG-178 is smaller in diameter), I use RG-174.   It's
also what MOTM uses.  It is less than an 1/8" O.D. and quite flexible.
It's available in short lengths or by the foot from a number of
online vendors.

You don't need the best or the smallest for building modules because
there is more than enough room and the runs are very short.
