This is the first cable I've made. It's just a standard mini to RCA interconnect using star quad, canrae F-12 and home grown audio RCA connectors. With techflex PET covering.
I also started making a 10' headphone extension cable. I got the whole thing wired up only to realize that I mistakenly purchased a mono female connector. Drat.
when you guys use the same cable for the "Y" and not the wires inside one cable (like CollinT has done above)... what are you doing with the extra wires insed the two sections of the "Y"? So, if the mini connector is on one length of starquad, and the RCA's are on two individual lengths of starquad, where they meet the RCA sides have more wires than the MINI side. do you just cut the extras and ignore them, or are you actually attatching them?

Are you talking about using three separate pieces of Star Quad (or other cable) instead of using one piece of cable and separating the conductors inside the cable?
IMHO, I don't think that it would be a good idea to try and splice three separate pieces of cable together. Too many chances for a bad connection or a weak link in the cable. That's just me. IF I were making a cable in that manner I would use all of the wires, even if that means doubling up some wires in the Y section of the cable.
Actually, the cable I made is one piece of star quad. I didn't like the look of the single cable splitting into two smaller cables for the RCA's, the techflex was too loose fitting and there was extra space there for the RCA connector to wiggle around at the end. So I put three layers of heatshrink on the cable after the Y split to "fill it out" more. It looks good but it isn't very flexible. Heh. Oh well live and learn.
