  1. 3.5mm Plastic TRRS Plug - DIY Project to Repair Your Audio Cable

    Do you have a DIY project or repair that you need to make? Our 3.5mm TRRS connector will provide an inexpensive solution for creating a three channel audio cable. A TRRS connector can be identified by three black plastic bands near the tip of the cable. 3.5mm refers to the diameter of the plug. It is the most common size plug for small electronic devices such as headphones. This connector contains an all metal plug and soldering points. The plastic shell and strain relief protect the solder points on the connector. To install the connector, you will need: A soldering iron, solder, a wire stripper and cable. Since this is a TRRS connector, our cable will need three center conductors and a shield. Unscrew the strain relief and slide it onto the audio cable. Using a cable stripper, strip back the cable jacket. Twist the shield together. Strip the jacket around the center conductor. Tin the center conductor and shield by adding solder to the ends of each wire. Tinning helps makes a more lasting and professional bond. Take the connector and with a vice or helping hands, tin the solder points on the connector. The sleeve is the longest piece of metal, coming out of the back of the connector. If you are unsure of which solder point corresponds to the tip or sleeve, you can use a multimeter to check continuity. Solder the tinned shield to the sleeve and the center conductor to the tip. Using pliers, pinch the strain relief onto the outside jacket. Slide up the strain relief and tighten onto the connector. Congratulations, you have successfully soldered the 3.5mm connector.

  7. Cat5e Crossover Patch Cables - Quickly & Easily Connect Your Network

    Do you need a reliable, high speed data connection for your home, office, or business? Our Cat5e crossover cables are made using 4 twisted pairs of 24 gauge pure copper conductors and a standard PVC jacket. The cables are made using stranded conductors for maximum flexibility and are pre-terminated with RJ45 connectors and boots. Crossover cables are different from a standard Cat5e cable. A standard Cat5e cable can be used to connect from a modem or router to provide an internet signal. But a crossover cable is used to transfer files directly between computers and is not capable of providing an internet signal. This is due to a different wiring pinout for crossover cables. Crossover cables can be useful in setting up a small home or office network without the need of an internet connection. You can connect multiple computers to one another to allow for data transfer without the use of a router or remote storage. They are available in multiple colors and a variety of lengths ranging from 1-100 FT and can be custom made to a specific length if that is needed. Be aware, the distance limitation for Cat5e is 300 FT and it is not recommended to exceed this distance for custom assemblies.
