patch cables

2008-08-11 by aliisvorbach

Peter,
 Does plan b intend to make patch cables? I would like to know What
you recommend for a good cable and connectors. I am in the process of
making some using Neutrik NYS226 nickle plated connectors but having
some difficulty sourcing suitably narrow gauge soft supple cable that
comes in a range of colors. something around about 5mm or even smaller
diameter as it would seem anything larger would be far too stiff and
bulky for this size format. My 1/4 inch cables look to be too big to
use and not so soft and supple for this 3.5mm jack modules. some
advice please. I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction
here and also on my choice of connector. 
 thank you.
its exciting to here what products you have in the works.
 
regards aliis vorbach

Here's what I use:

They're very flexible, should fit the 226, and come in 5 colors. And nice price too!

If you're in LA, go by All Electronics in the valley, 90cents each if
you buy 10-100, even cheaper if you buy more.  Heck, even Peter
advised me to get cables there.  I think I'd rather Peter and crew
working on new modules rather than soldering together patch cables.  :)
