Supplies for making cables...

Post by atdunlap » Wed Jan 19, 2005 12:22 pm

Who do you guys buy bulk cable and connectors from? I don't need "boutique" quality, but I would like to find some decent cable and probably at least switchcraft connecters. Does anyone use partsexpress.com? Any other ideas?
Thanks.

When in doubt, try it anyway... it just might work.

Markertek. I use Neutrik connectors and Canare cable. Parts Express has Neutrik as well but I have no idea what the quality of that Dayton cable is.

I second Pacific Radio, but then again there like the local retailer in LA, I just drive over there and pick up whatever I need. They have Belden, Mogami, Canare, Switchcraft, Neutrik, all the popular stuff. They also have a store in Las Vegas. I think it's kinda cool that they just sell cables, connectors, racks, and tools, that's it. They really know their stuff too. I'll ask them what the prices are for 25 NC3-FC's and they know off the top of their head.
