My deepest apologies.  Sorry to ruin your weekend.  I posted that from my phone so was not paying attention.  Offending post edited.  

 

Oh, please... it was just a word-to-the-wise, not a diss !  Save your indignation for when you really need it, and that is not now. Besides you were only a convenient example, as so many are "guilty" 9_9

 

Chill out, and thanks for fixing the post. Surprised you could still edit it.

Arrgh God that wasn't nice especially with connectors that don't fit 6mm cable..  My soldering skills have gone down the pan and I need a better iron for home. Bad workman and tools ?

You can't do a nice job but an lesson in thinking it wouldn't be that hard.

Oyaide all the way....

I managed to get the wires in the hot pin by squashing the hot pin into an oval tinning the 2 wires together and filing....yes filing off the edges and jam then in.. 

 

Hats off too Michael and super dad /John......

 

The shrouds are plastic but still to small for 6mm after drilling them out....

 

No more well meaning advice from me..I need it myself...

?

 

I'll try the Screw ones next..

 

Been there...done that. Trust me. You will from now on love the screw terminal DC plugs! ?

I just got the new Oyaide DC connectors and yes it's tight!  I am going to see if I have any more luck than others.  The barrel fits really snugly around the Canare cable so that's a good thing I suppose.  I already have a bunch of the screw connectors as back up.

Indeed they are, just did a Canare 4S6 test fit tonight and it looks like this project is a "go" for this weekend:

The 4S6 is very flexible and has a soft supple outer jacket, this will make a nice DC cable that isn't so stiff that it fights how you want to dress it or puts strain on the input jack.

 

Anyone:

 

What is the distance in mm between solder point and cable crimp on Oyaide old version ?

The Frensh plugs is 12mm. Cable crimp diameter is natively 7.6mm.

 

Superdads pic old and new Oyaide plugs in below post..

Aand picture with soldering here:

The Chinese manufacturer will make a test sample with the new Oyaide plugs with the Canare 4S6 cable, as he think this is doable.  I'm not so sure he is right, so this is very nice of him to do.

Probably ready during weekend. Will post pictures then.

 

I'm trying to convince him to sell directly to end user. But I think I will have to make a poll or a spreadsheet in order to convince him there is enough buyers. (Of cause he does not like to waste money on the expensive Oyaide plugs).

 

I must say I like these plugs as well. They should even be able to do a shielded cable from Canare. And then the right way is to have open shield in one end. Actually the end where your consumer (Microrendu or ISO regen) sits.

 

I'm thinking about having him making Ethernet cables as well. Possible with the best plugs available and a Belden cable :)

Open shield in one end as well. That's why you put direction on cables.

Standard vs. modified Elac plugs - opening now 8.5mm - big enough for almost any cable...:)

Cut with hacksaw, then careful filing with flat bastard and finished with wet & dry paper

Well done!  You should sell these!  Though I imagine modding them is probably more trouble than its worth

But still, this connector's length is still really small...?3/4" long.  Very hard to solder still the Canare cable I bet.

Nope. Don't think so. See my other post, where you see lenght between solderpoint center tip and cable chrimp. 

 

Still no one has yet told me distance for old Oyaide....

between the end of *center* soldering point and "beginning" of cable crimp? 9mm

May I ask what size of cable you intend to use ? (Or brand & model)

Cable chrimp diameter is 7,6 mm, so I would expect a challenge with a cable above that size or ?
