Members chrispsullivan Posted March 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 14, 2012 I buy patch cables by the bucket at GC lol They're cheap and last forever. I think they're $3 each. {censored} making my own patch cables, solderless or not. I'm planning on making all of my own cables, not just the patch variety.

Members BT-Chris Posted May 14, 2012 Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 Might I interest you in checking out blackturtle cables? solder-free and small and very well made. Just throwing out another choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members paul88lx Posted May 14, 2012 Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 Am I the only one that finds in odd they sell the plugs in quantity of 5? Me too. Make it four or six. A odd number seems kind of silly. Although I am sure it means they usually sell 2 packs instead of 1. As for the cables and plugs, it looks pretty much like the Bill Lawrence/Wilde stuff. If it doesn't twist and spin up like the Lawrence cable, I'll be all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NinjaRaf Posted May 14, 2012 Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 A buddy of mine bought the planet waves solderless make your own cable thing YEARS ago. It looks basically like the same concept as these where you screw down a pin that enters into the cable. Worked really well, choose your own lengths. He still has the cables, and they still work...some 7 years later or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Anomaly Posted May 14, 2012 Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 Am I the only one that finds in odd they sell the plugs in quantity of 5? They are in cohoots with the hot dog/bun industry. I have George L's and Lava, good stuff, never a problem. I have store-bought short jaunts like Billy, but I've had to make custom length jaunts SEVERAL times over the years. Solderless is a godsend.

Members jshaffer20 Posted May 14, 2012 Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 I have my board done with the PW set. It super nice having all the cables the right size, I can get everything nice and tight on my board. The GFS stuff looks good though, I have been pleased with the other stuff I have bought from them. I am sure the cable kit would be no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solderless is a godsend. This. I need custom lengths and connector orientations that pre-packaged patch cables just don't offer. I've been using PW solderless kit for years now and they just work.

Tight fits and connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
