Any specifications/requirements, especially outer/external diameter and conductor size (in AWG)? Also what is the cable purpose or application? For your information, you could try looking/searching here: RS Components > Cables & Wires > Wire & Single Core Cable or here: element14 > Cable, Wire & Assemblies > Wire - Single Conductor... hmm.gif

guess i didn't specify my requirements lol.
well, it's to make a headphone cable, much like the one done by NoobHacker. 8 braid single core cable to be terminated to 4pin xlr and 2 * 3pin mini xlr. 26awg should be enough i guess
not sure about RS, they seem... expensive... and would just prefer the usual audio branded cables such as canare and mogami etc. if i can't find locally, then i am forced to ship it. gonna need a lot since i'm going to use it for other stuff too, such as adaptors and interconnects

Can't get (exotic) brands like Canare and Mogami at those sites. The only notable (known audiophile) brands found there are Van Damme, Belden and Gotham... hmm.gif

yeah. very unfortunate. how about other electronics shop though? last time i went to AmCorp, i saw some pretty good stuff like voodoo cable. but then those are probably speaker cables

Seems that Mouser and Digikey also do not have those (exotic) brands. Obviously one place you could try looking at is eBay. Alternatively can try using this cable: BELDEN - 83002 010100 - HOOK-UP WIRE, 100FT, 26AWG, CU, BLACK which has silver plated copper conductor core... hmm.gif

the belden looks promising. i'll keep a tab on it

Yup, i tried doing 8 braid once, sudddenly felt tired and took some rest, when i come back to it, i'm lost. laugh.gif
You can easily get canare from jalan pasar i think, cause i heard someone able to get from there few months back.

not very familiar with the area. but i'll be going there sometime soon anyway, so i can check. would be easier if someone knew the shop's name though
