Thanks
Sharp exacto knife, metal ruler, and something to squish the heatshrink flat when you're cutting it (ie, finger).

Thanks cyberspyder.
Here's the splitter I finished.......i kinda scratched the connectore, but apart from that I'm pretty happy with it


Also, anyone know where I could find wires awg 28 or smaller in these colors : blue,hot pink, and lime green? ( ex. a copper wire with a pink pvc cover)
I know there probably isn't great demand for a high quality pink or lime green wire, so a cheap copper wire is o.k.
thanks

you can find silver-plated copper in SOME of those colors, with teflon insulation.

How quickly does Markertek typically ship their orders out?

It depends on the shipping company and location. For me, about 1-2 days before they got my order out.

Was bored, so I made a couple Mini-to-RCA. They turned out pretty good, but I'll be able to make them better next time. Practice makes perfect..

Here are a couple mini-to-mini cables I assembled this afternoon with Gepco 22 AWG shielded wire, Neutrik plugs, and TechFlex:

I've always wondered, what is the third pin for in 3-pin XLR?
