DIY Balanced Interconnect Connectors

I'm going to put together some Mogami 2534 cables for my balanced connection and I will be using Markertek as a source. They have a number of Neutrik connectors availabe, which would be the least expensive, functional type to get? There's different number of pins and such, can't figure out which one is needed for the Neglex. Also, if someone can point me to a good tutorial on assembling this type of cable, I've looked for about an hour and can't find one, you'd think there'd be a good step by step procedure out there.

"The female plug is the start of your signal path, so, if the wire you use is directional you want the signal to begin with the female plug(source) and end at the male plug, say your preamp or amp. Follow me?"

The Mogami 2534 does not appear to be directional. Should the writing on the cable go from right to left (as you would read it) from female to male? I'd like to duplicate how the Gold Studio cable is configured.

Apologize. I usually read from left to right as most Americans...

Hi Smata67,

If there are no directional arrows then use the writing on the cable. Flow of signal with the flow of the words, in other words, reading from left to right the Female plug would be on your left or the start of the wording, words follow the same path as the signal. Follow me?

That's what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I may not need these cables due to a change in plans. Now will need RCA cables. This neglex cable will make good signal wire from the RCA jack to the potentiometer for a DIY project I'm going to build soon, so it will get used.
