What do I need to search for if I need to build my own cable?

I know speaker wires af thicker, but are they called the same og is there a specific cable for headphones?


cable spec: UP-OCC(copper only)
Plugs: Furutech/Oyaide/Viablue dual 3.5mm to XLR 4pin
Solder wire: One that corodes/oxydize the least

Haha over here OG means original gangster so I was a little confused at first. AWG or simply "gauge" is a good way to refer to the thickness of a cable on English-speaking forums.

Speaker cable is typically a much thicker gauge than interconnects or headphone cables. Speaker cable is typically 10-18awg, interconnects and headphone cable is usually 22-26awg. Cardas has a 4x24 cable, Mogami and Canare both have various starquad cables, and you can just use four pieces of hookup wire and braid them. If you are looking for OCC Neotech is a good company to check out. https://www.hificollective.co.uk/components/hookup-wire.html

Oh I see. This is a good basic explainer on impedance: http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/impedance.htm
