Default ALO SXC Cryo for iMod or iPod

Does anyone know how to tell from the apparence whether the ALO SXC Cryo line-out cable is for iMod or for iPod?

Thanks

Normaly it's write on the plug.
If it's Imod, it's write Imod dock.

This is correct. Also, the color of the label for a regular LOD is black and white. The iMod cable is black and red/orange in color. The cables I own follow this color scheme, so I'm assuming all of Ken's cables do.

I bought this one, but it didn't write anything on the plug and the color of the label is black and white.

Actually, the cable looked the same as

It looks like the sleeving is different on the new SxC cables. The older cables that I have are marked like this

non-iMod (black and white with AOL written on the )
ALO Audio

iMod (black and red/orange with iMod written on the shrink wrap)
ALO Audio

The iMod SxC and the iPhone cable pictures you show look like they are the same cable. Maybe Ken can point out how to tell them apart?

Enclosed is a picture of an ALO using SXC for a Non-iModded iPod. Hope it helps.

Hey nice photo!

No on the ALO SXC there is no indication on the label. However if you look at the iMod versions ipod connector, locate the brand "ALO" mark. You will notice a small dot that marked with my iron that indicate it as having caps installed. The dot is located under the "ALO" near the edge of the connector where the wires exit the ipod connector. The other way to tell is to test the Left and Right pins across the mini plug. The tip is left and the ring is right. Set your MM to continuity if you get a beep = no caps. You can also test for uf, set your MM to the II symbol and you will get a reading that will tell you the value of the cap.

Hope this helps.

Ken
