Patch Cables"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>With more Eurorack modules added to the studio, I had a need for yet more adapter cables.&nbsp; Previously, I had made cables for patching between banana systems and 5U quarter-inch systems, and between banana and Eurorack mini-jacks.&nbsp; I now wanted cables specifically adapting Euro to 5U, and decided to build ten four-foot cables with 1\/4 inch phone plugs on one end and mini-plugs on the other.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pugix.com\/synth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0003.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1809\"><img

rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rean\/Neutrik NYS226BG<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The cable is: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redco.com\/Canare-GS-4.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Canare GS-4 <\/a>guitar cable.<\/p>\n<p>The GS-4 cable has an extra black sheathing layer beneath the copper braid and over the insulation for the center conductor.&nbsp;&nbsp; The black sheathing is conductive!&nbsp; It must not be allowed to touch the center conductor.<\/p>\n<h4>Technique<\/h4>\n<p>I have made a lot of cables with shielded cable, and there are always two important considerations not to be overlooked:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mechanical strain relief, so that stress on the wire does not weaken the electrical connections<\/li>\n<li>The electrical connection of the shield braid to the ground sleeve on the jack<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I solved both of these problems using #20 tinned copper buss wire.&nbsp; The buss wire is looped around trimmed shield braid and soldered to the braid and to the plug ground stem, for a perfect ground connection with added mechanical strength.&nbsp; This technique also has the advantage of avoiding the use of electrical tape or heat shrink.&nbsp; Everything remains exposed for easy repair, if needed.<\/p>\n<p>When tinning the center conductor for the mini plug, do not twist before tinning, or the tinned wire may be too big for the little hole on the tip lug.&nbsp; Leave straight and add just a little tinning at the end to hold the strands together.&nbsp; Test the fit before proceeding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript
