trussmonkey Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 hi guys , hope you can help. I want to run a multicore cable in my home cinema. I would like it to have a couple of sets of component connects, a couple of video/composite connects and maybe one or two others. I realise that there probably isn't a pre made multi waiting for me to spend my hard earned cash on. so I am prepared to make one. heres where you come in. does any one know where I can buy suitable multicore that will do the job and is there a downloadable data sheet to tell me how to wire/solder it up. hope you can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew C Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Would fully featured SCART do you? Maplin sell it by the metre if my memory serves... It is a bit of a cow to terminate, but relatively cheap. If not, try the Canford web site/catalogue, or perhaps "Composite Video", but don't know if they .www Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trussmonkey Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 I dont have scart on the projector so component or composite are the only options. as I said all I need is a suitable multi core cable only about 10meters in length so that I can attach the connections I need help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew C Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 As I said (implied), buy it by the metre, and terminate yourself. Best bet may be to go into a dicast box at either end and put phonos or BNCs on the lids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trussmonkey Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 do u know a good supplier of multicore and is there a specific type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McCrea Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 VDC have ranges of multicore. Their website doesn't have a product listing on, due soon apparently. Can't find the damn thing now.... Maybe 10m of scart cable is the best option, and a load of phonos soldered on yourself as mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaWorkshop Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hi Try some Extron stuff distributed in this country by RGB Communications ( www.rgbcomms.co.uk ), contact Gordon Innocent. It's top quality gear and probably a similiar price to the Van Damme products from VDC who are equally nice to deal with but just I'm giving you another option. Kind regards, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Canford do Multicore cable exactly as you discribe http://www.canford.co.uk/commerce/resources/catimages/thumb/C110/C11068.jpgIt has 6 video cores, 2 audio cores and 2 data cores. Data Sheet It is designed to be terminated in a SCART plug but you can terminate it in whatever you like. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
