Some cables for my dad's mixer. Yes, the guitar is balanced.

Where in sweden can I buy those fat jacks and plugs that can swallow what seems to be 8 mm of wire? The ones I have found are only capable of swallowing 4 mm of wire.

Neutrik jacks and plugs, at least the old style ones like those in my picture, can fit that much. Neutrik mini's have a very small opening, however. If you want a mini with a big opening, try Switchcraft or Canare. Neutrik is located in Lichtenstein, I believe, so you should be able to get them relatively easily. Switchcraft and Canare would be harder, though. Try looking for alternatives.

If its 6.3mm you can find Neutrik at Kjell.com or Elfa. If its 3.5mm you can try Supras MP-8 at Reference Audio for one. The 3.5mm Neutriks I have found here are the angled kind and they wont take more than 4.5mm of cable. Otherwise you can order Switchcraft from Qables.com with pretty low shipping rates.

Here is an iPod cable I made for my iPod (duh) and a Go-Vibe V5. Its AWG 26 silverplated copper in teflon in a triple braid covered with Techflex multifilament.

Slick looking cable, MrMajestic2.
What do people use for strain relief on iPod docks? I'm thinking hot glue. And what kind of glue is good for closing it up?

Thanks mate. I didnt use anything but the dock itself as strain relief. The dock is shielded so its very tight as it is. Had to open up the cable entry a little using a file, otherwise it would close. I used regular super glue to close it up.
