cable length

<< < (2/2)

John R:
100' feet of cable is a lot to manage.  i'd make a couple of 50's instead.

good point john, that would SUCK rolling up at the end of the nite

jpschust:
here is just a thought for you for some versatility- make your individual cables 25-30 ft- that should always get you to about the end of the stage on small stages.  then why not make an 8 channel snake for the rest of the run.  here's why- lets say you have to run to the board- you dont want 8 seperate cables there, its nice to have your cables bundled together.  it also makes transporting way easier.

I'll have to do something like that.  Hadn't thought about dealing with the 100 ft lengths.  I'll go something like 30 feet seperate and then another length bound together.  

How do you bind them?  I wrapped my two stand cables together with black zip ties every 18 inches or so that I cut after it goes through the part that goes zip.
