here is some cables I made up... Cardas wire, solder and solder paste. techflex (3/8 carbon) braid. I got the connectors from hongkongsuperseller on ebay...27 bucks for 6 black and 6 red...
vixr, if you don't crimp the techflex in with the cable in the connector, how do you secure it so it doesn't pull out of the connector after it's all put together? especially with no heat shrink tubing.

well, I ordered the techflex after I already built the cables... The braid is long enough that it stays in place pretty good with out the heatshrink, but I do need to add some...
Yeah, good call... put some on and it is much better...
8 cable braid with 18 AWG cable.

Nice work PcWork!! Could you share how you did that 8 wire braid? I have been messing around with braids and started a tutorial( see my sig) and that would be a nice adition. I would totally give you the credit for it, and other people would appreciate learning how to do it!

I realize I'm not PcWork, but here are my instructions from a previous post for the square braid: You take the wire on the left, cross it over five, and then back under two. Then you take the farthest one of the right, move it over five, and then back under two. You repeat this, and eventually you get a very cool square braid.

+1. I have some quality commercial "video cables" my uncle got from his work place. I'm planning on making speaker cables out of them.
