And I just made that 5' cable a month ago. IDC crap. I have a 100 ft roll of Belden ribbon cable thats now about 15 years old, unused portion still in the Belden box. But apparently either the blue amphenol db25, or the black hirose 26 pin header connectors, both gold flashed, are crap. Or the cable has been gnawed in two, without leaving a mark on it. Where are you guys buying /known good/ cable and connectors these days? Thanks. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

We use AMP/TYCO connectors and 3M cable and have basically 0 problems If you plug/unplug the cable frequently, you should use the strain reliefs or the first and last wires in the cable tend to get broken.
