The good thing about the unibit is that it cuts cleanly enough that if you're careful the results are good enough that you don't feel obligated to cover it with shrink.

Wouldn't rough edges on the inside pose a danger to the integrity of the length of the cable inside?

I might be wrong, but Ill take a stab at an answer,
my guess is that the cable jacket is fully inserted into the barrel.

The unibits that I use don't leave a rough edge by design, and of course I visually inspect the edges and if there are any burrs I file them smooth. But, as RnB correctly pointed out the whole idea behind the enlarging of the entry is so that the entire cable assembly (jacket, flex, etc.) can be fed into the housing for a cleaner look.
I think I've posted this picture before but just for reference purposes here's what an enlarged jack looks like.
Left = Normal (1 layer of flex) : Right = Enlarged (2 layers of flex)
I think you should get out of cableing and into photography. Everytime i see something of yours generally the photography is outstanding. Cudos to you
Im into Art not really photography specifically, alot of the images have errors, but thats because I didnt spend much time on them.
Never picked up photography, but I do understand design and fine arts, which is the reason why some may notice that most of my images follow composition in all the photos. i.e. relation of lighting and shadows, dynamics, focus, position of the objects in the image, eye movement throughout the picture and so on.
Kind of like artwork.
Thanks for the compliment. Glad to here its appreciated.
cheers!

Another iPod to line out to RCA cable. This one is made from Canare Star Quad with Canare RCA's. This is going to connected to a car stereo via an aux input on the head unit. This is a lot like the one I use in my truck.
headchange4u: Wow, nice little cable, similar to what I have, but I went retail cause I really didn't know about this forum when I planned the IPod car integration. How long did it take you to make those and how much did it cost?

There is not more then about $10 worth of parts there... although shipping for those $10 worth would come to easily $10+
Should take perhaps an hour or so your first time... not much labor involved.

Like grandenigma1 said, there is not more than $10 in the cable (not counting shipping costs for the parts). When I first started making them it took about an hour to make but, believe it or not my build time on these cables has gone up. Normally as I get more familiar with working with certain materials and connnectors, my build time goes down, but not with these babies. I have been perfecting my iPod line out cables for a while and I have quite a few under my belt. I have recently perfected my build process with these cables and it takes a little over 2 hours, from start to finish, to build one.
