boodschap Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'd like to replace my ENG multicable with a new one. I'd prefer to make a star quad multicable. What's the thinnest, most flexible (also in cold weather) 3 or 4 core cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Toline Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Your best choice would be Mogami W2931. 4 core and very flexible. Multipair cables are even number cores not odd number cores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I've been using 2931 for well over 20 years in all my camera cables with zero issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multipair cables are even number cores not odd number cores. actually trew audio sells a 3 pair raw snake cable. not as flexible as the mogami, but slightly less diameter so it fits in a 7pin xlr a bit easier. http://www.trewaudio.com/store/Remote-Audio-Shielded-3-pair-Audio-Cable-CA3PS26.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy fix Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy fix Ken Especially if you decide to go with the 8 pin Neutricon connectors. Although I prefer using the barrel of a soldering iron to enlarge the connector nut opening of the Neutricon.
