Source for cheap DB-25 cables for control panels?

Pages: (1/2) > >>

pmc:

I'm ready to convert my swappable panels from 50-pin SCSI to 25-pin DB25 connectors. The internal SCSI cables just don't make good quick disconnects (they haven't held up well) and I can't use switch-boxes or make fancy connector blocks, or expand easily. Time to redo this mess.

Anyway, I need at least 4 good quality 3-6 foot straight-through cables with color coded wires. Some of you probably just sourced some for your cabinet. Can you point me in the right direction? I don't want to spend too much on cables that I'll just cut in half. :)

Check mouser.com, lots of varieties and lengths, not too pricey.

Check out PCH Cables (http://store.pchcables.com/serparcab.html). They've got great prices. His shop is just down the street from me, though most of his sales come from online orders. He's a great guy.

If DB-37 cables are appealing to you (I used them for my swappable panels), then Winford is your place: http://www.winfordeng.com/products/cat_cables.php.

All good leads. I was actually going to order from monoprice.com just before I posted here. But I wanted to be sure I'd get straight through cables with color-coded wires. Can you guys confirm that all these cables are likely to be color-coded? Or am I just being silly about this?
