Need quick answer on disconnects
« on: October 10, 2015, 11:59:10 am »
Ordering my disconnects for my cp on my first build.

Using paradise led buttons and jlf sticks. I just plan to wire with cat5 cabling.

So i need .187" female disconnects.... about ordered the 18-22awg size but wondering if 2 wires will fit in the barrel when I daisy chain the grounds?

Should I go up a size and get the 14-16 awg size or will those be too big?
(The 14-16 awg ones are blue and would rather have these over the red 18-22awg just want to make sure they wont be too big and sloppy with cat5 wires)

Yes this is my first cab lol.

Thanks guys

Quick Pic of the blue ones on Cat5 cable pair for reference : (They should be fine - I normally use them and solder the wire into the connector )
