Title: WTB: bulk multi conductor cable
Post by: acem77 on December 19, 2008, 05:09:18 AM
Does any one here know a place that sells cheap multi conductor cable.
I am looking for some 7-9 conductor 26-28 awg wire. a shield/dran wire would be nice.
I wish i know who makes the black cable that most rgb scart cable are made from.

So far the cheapest option i see is to buy some cheap premade rgb scart  cables and cut the ends off for my own needs.

ok so far the cheapest solution i can see is to by some controller extention cables for sytems that used 7 or more wires.

Has anyone seen a cheap stash for any of these?
PSx,PS2,IBM game port/midi port, genesis
The best seems to be about $3 for about 6 feet.

I recommend serial or parallel cables.  You can usually buy them dirt-cheap, and they'll have 9/25 wires each, perfect for all kinds of things.

I've never found off-the-reel sources for controller-style cabling.

If you want good shielded cable, grab some Monster DVI cables off ebay for teh hacking.
