  • Miniature 2-conductor shielded cable

    Hi all,

    Not sure which forum to put this thread but I guess 'repair' is close.

    I'm looking to buy a quantity of miniature 2-conductor shielded cable for amp and guitar repair. I prefer a woven shield, if possible. I'm wondering if any of the other 'repair guys' on this forum know a good source for this or know of a good product. The single conductor shielded mini-cable I'm using now is great but can't remember where I got it (I got a huge reel of it a long time ago). I use that in guitars and for shielding amp preamp grids but I need some 2 conductor shielded for some special stuff. The diameter I'd like is a little less than an 1/8 of an inch, about the diameter of a low E bass string (1.100). Microphone cable (which I have) is just too big for most guitar or amp applications and a not very elegant solution. If you can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated,

    Thanks,

    Bob M.

      I prefer foil shield inside things, so much easier to deal with and is 100% shield. But for when I wanted flexible, I got me a roll of lavalier mic cord. the stuff they use on lapel mics for wireless belt packs. Very flexible, isn't stiff, has no shape memory, is a shielded pair.

            Has anyone used "console cable"? I'm considering ordering some to try for similar applications.

            Edit:
            If you must have braided shield, this cable has "the look" - although a bit thicker than you asked.
