I want to make some trigger cables for one of my systems. I found the 3.5mm TS connectors that I like between Amphenol KM2P and Canare F-11. I haven’t found a cable; it seems that 20 or 18 AWG would suffice. Even though it’s a utilitarian cable, I still want it to look nice with all my other cables …

I made these a few months ago. I used some Canare L-4E6S and the Canare F-11. I covered it with techflex. They look much better than the trigger cables that come with gear. I took the strain relief off of the connectors to accommodate the techflex. You can get the cable here by the foot in several…

Those look real nice, exactly what I was envisioning. How did you secure the Techflex under the connector cap?

I either used super glue or a small piece of shrink tube that has glue on the inside. I can’t remember :disappointed: I use both methods often. It depends on how much room there is in the shell. I am leaning towards glue with this one, but I can’t swear to it.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

It may look pretty but electrically it is better if cables are randomly located to minimize interference.

This is what I use to help with that: ERICKHILL EMF Meter, Rechargeable Digital Electromagnetic Field Radiation Detector Hand-held Digital LCD EMF Detector, Great Tester for Home EMF Inspections, Office, Outdoor and Ghost Hunting https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BLJM28J/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_Y4J0TV0T4V8JG…

Have you found this to be an effective tool? Forty bucks, I’ll have to order one.

I have been messing around with it. I got it around December and have only used it a few times on my main rig. I have found there’s more noise near the IEC then anywhere else. Since I use Furutech connectors I am going to experiment with the Furutech CF-080 Suppressor AC Connector Damping Rings. T…

I found that the zuning ring entirely switched end from wanting to be on male end on Whisper Elite to Router LPS female end on the Pre Processor. That tells me it addresses more than just leakage. Whereas stealth was opposite on the male end same pre processor.

It seems like you are hearing what I am seeing. Most of the noise is on the ends of the cables. I see more on the IEC and less on the male end. I also see virtually no noise on the rest of my cords. It makes sense. It’s where there’s the least amount of shielding. I have a pair of Furutech 50 NCF t…
