It's tight over 4 conductors, and a tad loose over 2, but it will work for both, it's low profile, it's soft, tangle resistant, and not microphonic in the least bit so far as I can tell.



Is that the snap on Qables one featured in a post above, as if so I can't help but think it looks hideous XD I'm glad you mentioned paracord though, I was wondering how you use it exactly as I thought it had cords at its centre? I'd love to know how to use it as the styles it comes in are perfect for sleeving. 

 

Cheers for any info dude! :D

There are cords in paracord. You pull them out and you're left with the outer sleeve which you can use like any other cable sleeve at that point.

And I have to agree, the big plastic Ys look pretty ugly, I'd prefer a heat shrink at the split personally.

Haven't had any experience with these but I think everyone knows the sexiness of the ViaBlue splitters.

I love this thread.

 

Here's my latest:

I could have left it there, but I wanted a structure at the split.  Enter my spare mini-XLR with rubber bushing.  Bye bye bushing!

Press fit.  I was urgently tempted to leave it like this.

Alas,  I covered it in heat shrink.  Better results are likely with 3:1... I had cheap stuff.

Using an extra Neutrik mini TRS barrel and shrink tubing.

I built two RCA-terminated cables recently. I solved the Y-splits with these: http://www.wirecare.com/products.asp?prodline=CPN

 

For the UNcovered Mogami 2534 Quad, I used the 6mm cable pants.

 

For the other Quad cable that was sheathed with nylon multifilament, I used the 7mm cable pants. Both look professional and clean.

 

Note: I attached the RCA plugs directly to the end of the cable pants like this:
