They work but I'm sure commercial cables are better. How do you build them? Not specifically, but generally. Coax cable with RCA ends?

Coytee Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 You game to make your own ends? How many do you need? I'd have to look (since you said about a meter) but I might have some lengths of Mogami wire left over from when I made mine. Bare cable (no ends) I put some Neutrik connectors on them and on those that went down the RCA lane, received "Profi" connectors. You could have a couple provided my memory is correct on their approximate lengths Possible downside, they are all different colors. (and I'm not sure I have the lengths without looking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Did you ever come to a conclusion on what you're next step is? I was looking for something today and viola!, came across my Mogami wires and thought of you. I didn't pull them out and look at them as I've been busy ripping out & preparing to reinstall ..... my driveway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davis419b Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 I did not realize the cables from Monoprice were so reasonable in price. That's the way I am going to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue I've had with monoprice rcs's is the outer prongs that grab the outside of the rca jack are prone to crack and break off. It doesn't always happen but I've had a few do that. They're cheap enough that I just chunk them. For really stout, reasonably priced, good quality cables, Bluejean cables are what I usually go for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 If anyone has any lose cable I would like some. Will of corse pay shipping and even would make the person up some rca cables for themI collect all the ends off of old rca cables for making me ones.
