Cables to connect my new EMU 1212M to my Pimeta.
Each cable is 6ft of Canare Starquad terminated in a Canare F10 and F15 plug.

Just out of curiosity, on the IC with the F-12's, do you have the strain relief spring underneath the tekflex? Reason why I ask is because today when i was builidng my first one, (YAY! pics to follow with suggestions for the guide), I couldn't get the tekflex to fit under the strain relief, but now i think i might just try sticking the spring underneath it, and heatshrink the ends.....*thinks devious thoughts about building next IC...*
