ISO: techflex!
« on: September 07, 2006, 12:06:31 AM »
Can anyone point me to a source for techflex?

Better yet, can anyone sell me some?

I'm looking for a small size, suitable for two lavalier (eg., AT853 type) cables.

Thanks,
  Richard

How much do you need?

I've got 100 foot of grey 1/4" sitting here and I only need about 15 feet for my project.

I some techflex from markertek.com - they have many different sizes...
but, they only sell them in 100' rolls.  I used about 15 feet, and now have 85' lying around.
mine also 1/4", but black.  let me know if you'd like some of mine...

you want the "flexo pet"
$7 for a 25' roll.  you want the 1/8th inch stuff, which is the smallest.
1/4" is HUGE.

the smaller the better.

I'm pretty sure that you want no larger than 1/4" for those.    The 1/4" will expand enough to slide over some big connectors like Vampire and WBT locking RCAs.

You need grey or black?   ;D

1/4 " too large for the 4s11?  I thought that the 4s11 is 3/8 in diameter.

1/4" will be fine.  The 1/4" is the nominal size.  It has a minimum dimension of 1/8" and max of 7/16".

are we talking about 853 cable, like the stuff that the soundpros use?
if so, then 1/8th inch will work, and be tighter.  Its what I use.

I find the 1/4 stuff to be way too big for all the work I do.

I've nver worked with techflex before, so do you have to take your connectors off before you put it on, or can you just slide it over the connectors?

You know I could use some of the 1/8" also so if you don't find anyone with some to spare, I'll split a role of 25' with you (or anyone else).   I'll trade some 1/4" for some 1/8".

The 4S11 is the big starquad cables.  1/8 would work if I stripped down to the red and white wires. 

I'll probably need 50 feet of the 1/4 and then probably 8 feet of ther 1/8.  I prefer black.  I have to remeasure my cables.  Its been a while since I made them.
