Trigger Sensor Cable, Suitable?

Recommended Posts

pugpete1108

just picked up some of this from maplin, it was the nearest they could match to my current cable that came with the ms loom.

 

the ms cable is two core with a braded earth running down it and a foil outer wrapping the three cables, but all they could get was two core with a braided screen round both cables like this:

 

maplin cable

 

will this do the job or is it essential to have the foil too?

That looks the same as the stuff I've sent to a few people on here for their wiring looms & it works fine afaik.

 

The sheilded / braiding does the same (or better) job as the foil, both is over kill imo.

cheers graham, any advice on joining this type of wire together? i should i desolder the existing wire from the multiplug? (i would rather not though :lol: )

and resolder the new wire or is it safe to join the wires as is?

I'd try to get the correct crimps & remake the whole loom rather than reuse old connectors.

 

They should be extractable from the plugs.
