connector type - see pics
« on: April 05, 2004, 10:27:36 am »
Hello all,

  I'm looking to extend the firewire port in my PC out to my CP. I attempted to extend the wire by splicing 8 wires into the middle, but my confidence isn't too high that it's going to work. :)

  I was in the shower this morning (I seem to do all my best thinking in there *shrug*) and it occured to me that it would probably be simpler if I simply wire in an 'extender cable' by attaching one end the the end of the existing cable and attaching the other end to the recepticle on the motherboard.

  I did some searching on the internet for anything that looked close to the type of connector, and the closest I came up with was a SPOX connector. Do any of you know off the top of your head if this is accurate?

Thanks for your help!

/Steve

looks like .156 pins.  Ask Bob Roberts, he has similar connectors. You don't need all the interlocks, just the spacing to make it right.
