DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread

Thanks guys for all the help! I'm most likely going to be doing a 2 clear and 2 black cable using the btg stuff given how much cheaper it is. Since this isn't going to be sheathed I'm not going to directly get mogami/canare stuff. There may be a day when I try a sheathed cable but it is not this day!

Do you have a link to the cable you'll be using?

Small enough to just fit one wire.

I'm looking to recable my Grado 225i with Mogami 2893 and some paracord.
 
Does anyone know what type of paracord is needed for this job? (diameter)
 
I'm kinda new to the DIY scene, would appreciate some help.
 
Open to suggestions.

Are you wanting to sleeve each wire individually or all of them together? If individually, you could use micro-paracord that was mentioned in the last page (quoted below), or you could use 550 paracord to sleeve them all together. There might be a size smaller than 550 the would fit all 4 wires into it, and I'm sure there is. In my experience, 550 would work just fine for the 4x26awg wires.
 
550: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.Xparacor&_nkw=paracord&_sacat=0&_from=R40
