WTB CD-ROM audio cable extension - more info and link inside
« on: August 11, 2006, 11:44:54 am »
This is basically what I'm looking for:
http://www.directron.com/audioext.html

They're sold out there with no ETA.  Plus they look like they were custom cables that Directon used to make.   Does anybody know of another place that sells cables like this?  Anybody want to make me some cables like this?  I'm looking for 6 or so.

Thanks

Yikes!

It might be more worth your time to take one of your existing cables and simply cut it and splice more length into it.

Yeah, the ones I want longer are pretty thin and are attached to a PCB.  I've discovered that the Directron cable is actually not exactly what I want because it is Male to Male and I need Female to Male but besides all that, I'd be willing to spend a few bucks to not have to deal with it.

In another thread I've been turned on to the part numbers from digikey.  THey're dirt cheap, but you might be right and I'll probably just try and extend the ones I have.

Thanks
