[QUOTE="Riley Casey, post: 124704, member: 125"] Re: Multi Pin Disconnect... small/fun/learning project. 12 ch size Matt I fully applaud your plans to delve into the building of a multipin snake cable. I seriously question the bonafides of any sound company owner who is not fully capable of building his or her own cable, snakes and patch panels. That being said ... Pick your battles. If you can coil a patch snake such as this in the RF Rack and the console end isn't permanently patched at the XLR connectors then this is not a good application for a multipin. Never build a multipin disconnect when a simple XLR fan out would work. A small pin count connector such as a CPC is ideal for return snakes. We have hundreds of feet of CPC 12 channel snakes with some bundled with Ramlatch 54 pair snakes and a CPC panel mounted on the drive rack and one on the stage receiving rack with a loop thru CPC for connecting to a cross stage CPC panel and an XLR patch panel that allows cross patching to local inputs is an ideal implementation. This sort of combination allows easy extending and creative solutions I can send you the details of the most popular connector parts as used by most of the major vendors.
