ezb camera cable is too short. I need a longer cable. I searched the community but didn't find a good solution.
The connector is a special connector custom-made by ezb, or is there some standard connector I could find from connector makers to make an extension cable ?
What kind of connector is that ?
OK, PTP. Ebay is ok. It has kits with 10 cables with female connector fitted and 10 male connectors to solder. This way I can do female-to-female and female-to-male.
I just cut my camera cable in half and spliced in wire to get to the length I needed. Pretty easy to do!
Thank you Bob! Cut and SPLICE! I was wondering when someone was going to say that. I knew I could not be the only person left still cutting and splicing.
That was my first idea (post #6), when I discovered that those connectors weren't as easy to find as 2,54 mm ones. This is the easiest solution, not good-looking, but without the need of buying unusual items.
Oh do I feel dumb, it never crossed my mind to just cut the cable in half and splice.
Yep. I agree. Cut, add new wire, solder joints and cover each splice with heat shrink. NASA approved and standard practice on the Space Station and Space Shuttles
