something i thought about today that i don't recall talked about is cable length
i would like to go as long as 12 feet
Small tip:
Get a set of colettes on 4' or 5' cables and terminate the ends with whatever has the required # of pins. Then just run the rest off of various lengths to the box. That way you can stealth, run open, splits, whatever.
I've got like 4 sets of cables at different lengths for my beyers that way, and 18" cables for each set of caps so I don't have to unplug the caps and risk messing up the pins in a dark room. If something goes wrong after wear/tear, I just replace the cables that run from my bodies to the 18" individuals, or re-terminate the 18" ones. Even better would be to get a set of colettes/cable extensions for each set of caps you have so you can virtually eliminate threading issues or pin issues on the colettes.
