[QUOTE="Kip Conner, post: 25774, member: 445"] Re: 250' of 4/4 power cable, how to split it? I would guess that most venues that I play are fine with a 75' piece for the stage power. Now, the bus shore power- well you can be a hero there because it always seems to need a 100' piece to make that run. Never rule out having some 10-15' pieces for those times when you are lucky enough to get your distro close to the panel. If your distro is that close than real estate on the stage may be an issue and you don't need to have a piece of 100' in a figure 8 taking up that space. Second the cost of the connectors as well. Third, it's not as common but in the midwest there seems to be one licensed electrician that liked to put the wrong gender on the panels and you can either carry t's to fix that or build some turn around cables.
