Had a quick search but nothing came up...

I'm looking for the instructions for 'chain link' braiding- like the following;

Can anyone help?

Just came across the same question today, here it is http://www.vt4c.com/shop/program/mai...009&group_id=9

Ah yes, I've seen that page- is it the same for 6/4 wires then?

 

[FallenAngel]

I think so, I just ordered some more SPC from navships on eBay (great seller, gotta advertise), and I'll be redoing my PortaPro monsters using this technique with 4.

You can see that 3 wires are used in your picture from the Y split to the RCA plugs, so yah, your picture answers your question, he's using 6 wires to the Y.

Very interesting, thanks!

If you use this method with 4 wires you will have the same braid as the one from homegrownaudio. www.homegrownaudio.com

cool. thats how i brad most of my "diy" headphone cables.

i prefer the circular feel to the flat "standard" litz...

i never thought to try it with 6 strands though. that should be interesting.

 

[MASantos]

If you do it with 8 wires and in both ends divide in 2x 4 wires you can do an RCA-RCA interconnect with just one "main body" if you understand what I mean. Or you can use 8 wires for each channel but I doubt the difference would be audible though.

ps: ok you folks finally convinced me. I will do the "Complete litz braiding tutorial" this weekend.

for guides on how to braid "many strands" i would recomend looking to various japanese braiding techniques.

the 4-strand technique i use is a japanese style. althought i have not yet made one, the 8-strand would also be a slightly diferent patern, but it should produce more favorable results.

I did a 4 wire based RCA using that style going (i think this was how it went)
take the Left wire over 2 places
right over 2
left under 2
right under 2

takes a little bit to get in your head, as i mucked up a few times and started again
but it does leave a nice 3d round shape to the braid

with a 4 conductor chain braid, are you supposed to (when doing it in pairs like the guide fallen angel linked) match signal with ground for each of the 2 pairs so as to minimize interference?

 

[FallenAngel]

I don't think this braid is particularly meant for multiple channels.
