Topic: ISO: Right Angle S/PDIF 75-Ohm Coaxial Cables for V3 and PMD 671

[pmonk66]

I just don't like how the S/PDIF 75-Ohm Coaxial Cable sits in my V3 and PMD 671 when in my bag.

Looking for one that has right angles on both ends.

i can make what you need.
thanks

Pmonk, While you are at it, have KindKables make you a cable for running your V3 off of Wally Lion batteries.
I had him make one for me (one for my V3 and another for my V2), works really nice. I then bought 4 Lion batteries on Ebay for $20 each! They last about 5 hours each running the KM184s with phantom.

I got the cables below with my V3. I think the green cable is a SPDIF cable, but am not sure about the black one. The green cable has the label Canare 406 LV-615 Coaxial Cable 75 Ohm. The black cable has the label Comprehensive Video RG-59/U Flexible. Up until now, I have been using the optical out.  Now that I bought an MTII, I will be using the SPDIF out. Please help me identify the black cable.

video coax cable is 75 ohm, so they're both good for S/PDIF.

This might be a stupid newbie answer, and obviously you have already fixed your concern, but I was just wondering if a fix for this issue was just to use a splitter connector? I have a gold monster brand splitter with a male coax end, and then at a 90 degree angle from that a female coax end, and another at 180 degrees from the male end... Would it work just to use a coax cable connected to the 90 degree female coax end?

yes it would work, but it is not an ideal solution as the shielded path from one deck to the other is compromised by the exposure of the center conductor to any external ugliness that can enter via the exposed rca jack.

better to use a 90deg adapter, altho i dislike those as well. here's why:

when i worked for the city of san diego communications dept, we used right angle adapters on the 800MHz radio stacks in the fire and pd cars. we had one tech sit and test the RA's before use for insertion loss, he pitched 30+% of all tested - and this was motorola oem product...

was that an rca or bnc right angle? I've used a RA male to female RCA (looks like a solid gold cube in the right angle portion) on my v3 for years with no issues.

Just goes to show a week after I got my new cables I upgraded to th SD 702 and now needed stubbies!

This hobby just drains the wallet 

[esteyes]

the city of SD was using BNC, and yes it was radio frequency we were talking about, but the ultimate issue was that there were mechanical issues when the RA's were made that was causing the attenuation

fwiw, i have just finished making a couple of ultra stubby RA xlrs that do not require epoxy and can be disassembled and reused/recabled. i'll post pix later in the weekend if anyone is interested.

   I'd like to check those out...maybe at the Hacienda Bros./Blasters if I make it?
