boodschap Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I would love to have a multicable with one USB connection and 2 or 3 audio channels. What kind of cable can I use? Would a (individually) shielded multicore/multipair fit my needs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I think Redco could make you this to your spec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducky Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Google says USB cable has an impedance of 90 ohms, you'll want 50 ohm cable for your audio cables.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantin Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 You could just wrap a couple of cables together yourself. Use some heatshrink - done. It's certain to be the cheapest option. Otherwise, Kortwich build nice cables. They are in Berlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducky Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 If you're going to build your own loom, check out some of this stuff: http://techflex.com.au/techflex-braided-sleeving-products/flexo-clean-cut-pet/sizesSeal the ends with some heat shrink manufactured with glue on the inner walls.

haifai Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 you should try to do one by your own for testing before spending the money at a shop like kortwich. in a multicable configuration your usb and audio normally gonna share the same ground/shield so chances are big that you get some leakage from the digital usb signal in your audio chain, so the cables would have to be individually shielded. for my DIY projects i normally use sommer cable, there is a big choice: http://shop.sommercable.com/en/Cables/ if you don´t want to do it DIY i much prefer the OPS Shop https://www.ops-shop.de/ the stuff he does is realy good (the low profil connectors are better shielded then the ones from kortwich), the guy is making custom cables too...

ducky Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Here's a nice set of 8 pin quick release terminations. You'll have to replace the outer shell on one with the shell I've listed here so that the two genders will mate.
