The strain relief must always be installed to ensure correct clamping of the cable inside the connector. What I do in some cables is to cut the portion of the spring that is outside the connector. I posted some pics of my cables a few pages before.
normally don't use the springs, since alot of the time the wires wont fit through it as well, but i always solder all my wires, and the heatshrink over the connector kinda works similarly.
Gepco Triaxial 70 OHM cables and the best Monster connectors i can find (they went for 16 dollars each but i got them for free!)
I made the Hospital grade socket connector thing and the CAT5 cables (with old Monster conenctors i got for free). Terrymx made the mini-mini and the mini-rca.

made a 75ohm little extension for my er4p>s. Used 1/8w 75ohm resistors, and they fit nicely inside the stereo plug casing
It's 24AWG silver-coated copper wire, and i did have a screwup on that heatshrink on the jack side :-\ but ill put up with it, makes it more flexible i guess
*Kind of wish i had a fatty all silver mini stereo jack instead of that one with the black plastic cover, anyone know of any i can get?
***here's an rca > mini connector to plug into my switch. Colors clash a bit, but you cant see the rca connectors behind my cd player
That's 18-gauge silver-coated copper wire...yep, i fit 4 18AWG wires into the canare F12 plug, i love these things!
markertek.com actually does have the TN-MFS, just search for it in part number, then press on the rca link, then go down and look at the options to add to the cart
the Canare L-4E6S. it has 4 conductors... lets just say i was to take out 3 out of the 4 conductors and cut all 3 conductors to about 50cm (half a metre) each.
how long would it roughly be if i were to braid the 3 cables together?
Other Eq: Philips HP-250 (Temporary Retirement), Koss UR20 (for home use), Somic DJ-840 (broken headband fixed with twist ties and cellotape, cracking drivers - why the hell am i still keeping them???)
