Follow up.For those of you who wonder just how much CAT 5e to get or how much Teflon tape to get, I can now help you a little bit more. I just took apart the first proto-types and measured the materials used. Since the first proto-type used 1/4" p...

Part 2 – The materials.OK, to work.The conductors for the interconnect come from CAT 5e Plenum cable. You will need somewhat longer CAT 5e cable than twice the length of your desired interconnects. Why CAT 5e plenum? CAT 5 cable uses OFC. Of cours...

Simaudio Moon Equinox integration problem.
