More cable clarification
2003-02-18 by J. Larry Hendry
Sorry about all the bandwidth. But, it seems that my photos may have cause a little confusion. The plan is for the heat shrink to go inside the barrel unless you specifically ask for it on the outside. I have no photo of this since the samples were sent as they are normally sold with the shrink on the outside. So, my heat shrink "cutaway" photo is NOT how the heat shrink will be. It is simply to show about how they will look. In reality the heat shrink will go well inside the barrel down over the strain relief and almost all the way to the male threads on the inside. This adds significant strength to the cable. Sorry if this was not clear.. Oh, and congratulations to Russell Brower. As the first one to order cables, he receives free shipping. :) Stooge Larry ----- Some other Stooge-like guy wrote ----- The way I make my cables (got the idea from Wacky K) is to crimp the strain relief on the cable, and then slide the shrink up the cable, over the strain relief, and up to the male threaded portion. This adds considerably to the strength of the connection.
