Need help for these cables
« on: Dec 30, 2012 at 04:04 PM »
Hi guys, newbie here..ill soon be having an audio system and im doing research on anything i may need including cables. Sa trabaho ko, meron kaming cables na ganito:

cable 1. Bostrig 125 type P, 2C #16 AWG shielded. tinned copper conductor
cable 2. LMR 240-75 ohm coaxial cable. 0.82mm conductor

Tanong ko lang po para sa cable 1, halimbawang tangalin ko yong outer insulation and shielding, maganda ba itong gawing speaker cable even if its tin coated? How about kung gawing interconnect, #16 gauge kaya ay sobrang laki for interconnect? anong mga factors ang dapat i consider when making these into interconnects?

For cable 2 which has 0.82mm conductor, pwede din ba ito for interconnects? If so, what are the factors to consider when making coaxial into interconnects?

Salamat ng marami.... Happy new year!

tin coated wires will not tarnish/oxidize like a bare copper wire would.....i'd say yes and go ahead use it...

yes, the coax can be used to make interconnects....
That's OK, you can like or dislike anything you choose. That's the wonderful thing about the freedom
