Title: looking for shielded wiring
Post by: destro on May 14, 2018, 12:18:08 AM
Being a bit lazy here and just asking instead of searching. Looking for shielded wiring for lfo/high gain issues. Prefer it to be thin instead of the thick old rca wiring I have laying around. If anyone knows a source and cares to share, I'd be grateful. Alternatively, if you have extra laying around you want to get rid of, happy to buy it off ya or trade. Thanks!

It was many years ago but i bought Teflon/Kapton 24 or 26awg from here. Very small cross section, very stiff and teflon coax is a godsend.

RG-174

Works well for all shielding applications. Is cheap. And, it is very flexible  ;)

Thanks, I was  trying to remember that #... I think I ordered it without paying attention to overall guage size and it was pretty bulky, will be sure to pay attention this time 'round.
