<\/a>Click for huuuuuge…<\/center><\/p>\n
To satisfy my desire to make something tonight, I pieced together some component video cables for a coworker. This is two sets of cables, one 18″ and the other 36″. The connectors are Neutrik NY352G’s and the cable is Belden 9259 copper shield \/ copper core \/ polyethylene foam coax. Heatshrink is random 3M stuff, and all parts were purchased from Parts Express<\/a>, except the cable which is from the local Anixter<\/a> location.<\/p>\n Off the top of my head I figure these cost about US$25 total to make plus about two hours of time. I’d put quality up there against the best commercially available component video cables.<\/p>\n And, it’s fun and gave me something to do.<\/p>\n Oh, I know the heat shrink looks like butt, but I didn’t take the time to trim the edges of it perfectly, and being adhesive-lined leaves gunk. Also, as the metal shells of the connectors heat, they keep shrinking the tubing long after I remove the heat, so some continue shrinking long after the heat gun is removed. This doesn’t matter, though, as all the solder points are dead on, and the heat shrink tubing is just there to look pretty, keep the connector together, and provide strain relief.<\/p>\n Yeah, I’m done babbling about cables now. Time to water the plants. Oh, that reminds me… New flower photos here<\/a> and here<\/a> and here<\/a>. Yes, I know that the pansies are starting to look like butt. They’ve grown, but there are fewer flowers. Maybe there’ll be more flowers in a month or so. :(<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Click for huuuuuge… To satisfy my desire to make something tonight, I pieced together some component video cables for a coworker.
