Got some pics!
I have already inserted 5 shielded cables with 4 conductors each. Counting the shielding pins that makes 25 pins. I'm halfway done with the insertion of 6 shielded cables with 3 conductors in each wire. All together I have completed 37 pins out of 49. After this is done I move on to the single conductor, unshielded cables. I think I have about 14 of them to do.
All-in-all things are looking good. I have a nice stagger on my shield splices and the tension on the shortest wire is minimal. I cut it closed to having the shortest of the shield splices too close to the cannon plug's strain relief but it looks like it'll be okay. The plastic goes into the relief but not the solder so things are up to spec.
They'll be more pictures as I progress. I am eventually going to have to make two or more of these cables but the stock for my 3 conductor shielded wire is only going to allow me to make one of them. Once I get more of the wire in I'll have 2 or more of these cables built up.
What makes this project slow going is the fact that I have to document everything. I mean the shield spices I use, what pins I choose for the shielding of each wire, the length of each wire strip, as well as the order of insertion I find the easiest to accomplish. This is all to be able to make production procedures when this product gets released.
