Members willhaven Posted March 9, 2008 Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 I'm looking for 2.1mm and 2.5mm inner pin sizes (standard ones). The only ones I can seem to find are pre-molded with a set length of cable. Nothing I've seen looks like a standard guitar cable where I can just buy a bunch of plugs and a spool of wire so I can make my own custom length. I'm wiring my pedals inside of my rack and I need some fairly long cables leading to my Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2+ unit. Anyone know of anything good? Oh, and 90 degree plugs would be a huge plus. I went to Radio Shack, found some plugs, wasn't sure of the pin size. Plus the plugs look a little cheesy. I'm not confident putting Radio Shack plugs in my rack I don't think. The screw-on plastic case looks pretty cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members willhaven Posted March 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 What kind of cable would I need to use? Coax? I'm currently looking at Action Electronics. They have a slightly better selection and they'll sell in bags of 10 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willhaven Posted March 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 They've also got a few different types of coax cable... http://www.action-electronics.com/wirecable.htm#Coax 50 ohm, 50 ohm for test equipment (higher grade?), and 93 ohm.

Members NITEFLY182 Posted March 9, 2008 Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 You can use any 2-conductor cable. Youre running 9v through it so size and rating is pretty much irrelevant. You just need to buy stuff thats small enough to work with the plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members willhaven Posted March 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 Ok, I think I'm going to get 50ft of RG174 cable. The center wire is 0.48mm braided. 28 cents per foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
