Sure, but I don't use pre-made extensions. They are actually hand made from scratch. I order top quality wire, pins, connectors from various vendors. I use color matched wire so there is no color bleed through on the sleeve (I use MDPC-X sleeve). I measure and utilize the natural curve of each wire to achieve the perfect bend for the extension. I crimp each pin/socket to match the correct connector orientation in the application it will be used on. Lots of work, but the results are absolutely stunning. thumb.gif

Wow a real perfectionist! I bet it is worth the results. Do you sell them or do for yourself. How come you don't do whole custom cables instead of just extensions?

biggrin.gif Thanks!

This project really only took me a couple days, I got my MDPC package in on the 5th and I finished last night, the 10th. I was expecting this to take weeks, but I was done in 5 days! thumb.gif

Next up are those pesky front panel connectors!

Next up are those pesky front panel connectors!

Getting the heatshrink to look nice is tricky with the front panel connections...The way I do it is use 1.5cm of heatshrink and overlap the black connector by about a third, this keeps the connector flopping around and also holds the sleeivng in place nicely.

You may need to stretch the heatshrink a bit to fit over the connector. This way you can make the sleeve run the full length of the cable then there is no 'kink' where the heatshrink is.

Quick picture of what I mean (Don't have a good enough camera of my own to photo my connections) - I'm not very good at explaining!


Hope that's useful thumb.gif

By the way fantastic work on it so far! Love the colour scheme.
