braided cable

2002-10-21 by mate_stubb

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.
