Re: New PWR-20 cables have color swap

2009-07-03 by djbrow54

I got some of those earlier cables.  Wow, has it been 6 years!

I just put a "REV" label on the dustcap so I know which ones are backwards.  They connector keying is quite good, so you really have to work on putting them in backwards.  A sharpie writes real well on the connector dust cap.  I also mark the cables I build this way.  That way I know which is which.

Just a thought ...
