Like no other!. It gives the cable a military look. It looks a lot better in person. Something different.

A very blurry picutre of my first ever cable and first time using a soldering iron. Now if only my techflex would get here I could finish it....
Pacific Radio has been really slow in shippment and I think they are also expensive at least for connectors. Markertek was fast shipping and great price

Either put it in macro mode or take the camera further away from the cable. You can't see anything with that picture.

Haha no, just one end.
AK, sry I know i need a better pic and hopefully I can get on later tonight for another guy's camera on my floor. The camera I used is busted. The screen is cracked so I can't tell what mode im in let alone how far im zoomed or even how the picture will show up. The first two pics I took didn't even have the connector in it!

A little different than Neutrik 3.5mm's I like the neutrik inner positive more...since it is still a flat panel with a hole...that looks like a rod.
This isn't a switchcraft right?

Interesting. I wonder why people like it better than the neutrik:
I understand the preference of the Switchcraft RA, since the Neutrik 3.5mm RA is hideious.

RA??? whats that?
I like that neutrik connector, looks so easy to solder. Ill have to try it for my 1/4 to mini. In general are neutrik's more expensive that Switchcraft? where do you buy your connectors?

you over stripped the wire, the insulation should be stripped so it butts up against the solder platforms, You also didnt tin the wires prior to soldering, and the solder joints are a bit on the blobby side and dull in finish. the strands also seem frayed and not a cohesive unit.
the termination also looks to be a definate short hazard.
Kudos for tackling the switch craft straight plugs, altogether the switch craft straight plug solder platform design is ill conceived. Its definately not a beginner connector.
the trick to soldering the center pin is to leave a blob of solder on it prior to termination, hold the wire to the pin and heat, use a hemostat or angled needle tweezers to hold the wire in place so there is physical contact and not floating in a pool of solder.
prior to stripping the wire, hold the connector to it, so you can guestimate the length needed and how much to strip.
the neutriks slaughter the switchcraft straight plugs. the switch craft plugs seem to be more prone to oxidation than the neutriks also.

RA means right angle.
neutriks are easy to solder until you start using larger guage wire. the ground hole on the connector is a bit too small, larger wires would require you to solder the ground directly to the clamp.

Or you can drill out a bigger hole.
