A quote by the cable's designer, Jon Risch:
A quote by the cable's designer, Jon Risch:
“Cross-connection is used to reduce the inductance to an absolute minimum. Merely paralleling the center wire and shield would create two separated different polarity composite conductors with an inductance much higher than the cross-connected pair.”
Cables cut to length and twisted together (2-3 twists per foot):
Cables encased in 10 mm heat shrink except 5 1/2" each end:
Stripping back 4" of insulation from cables:
Pulling back the shield conductor braiding:
Strip back all but 1/2" of insulation from center conductors:
Using a pic to open braiding and pull the center conductor thru:
Center conductors pulled thru sheild-conductors:
2-layers heat shrink insulate shield conductors from touching:
The Money Shot: Center conductors crossed and soldered to opposite shield conductors:
