Where to find shielded wire.

Post by edgecrusher »

Hi, all. Just did a search and couldn't find anything on where to pick up the shielded wire. Just wondering where everyone get theirs. I live in the states in the great lakes region.
thanks

For the VR pickup, you need a twisted wire pair inside a shield (3 conductors), which is grounded at the EDIS end. That isn't coax which has only 2 conductors. I used some off an old roll of alarm sensor wire, guess I could spare some. Bruce Roe

Microphone cable with a braided screen is perfect and cheap

Look in the phone book for "electronics supply" stores in your town. To order online use aircraft spruce. I used a 16 gauge shielded wire from my local store.

Best,

Jeff

Be sure there are 2 wires in addition to the shield. How long do you need, what is your address? Bruce Roe

We've got one decent electronics store in Grand Rapids and most the stuff in there is from the eighties lol. They didn't have anything big enough. Bruce PM sent.
