I've developed a yen to use a nifty 16 conductor socket and plug from Hirose LX40-16p, LX60-16s. They suggest a cable that·is no bigger than 4.5mm·with 30-32 awg wires.

Unfortunately, I am flunking wires as has been so clearly pointed out by the likes of Digikey and Mouser.

So, here's my question: where does someone get those fancy multiconductor cables that are featured in Hirose's photos? From their photos one might be led to think that they're stuff you can pick up just about anywhere....

    So I found a nice cable from Hitachi, ul2854-sd. 10 pairs of 30 awg (7 strands of 38 awg) in a 4.6 mm diameter. Nice. Of course, Hitachi USA doesn't have it, though maybe (maybe) the guy says they could have some if I buy 16000 feet.

    Anyone know anyone in Japan? I'm looking for someone to buy 20 feet of ul2854-sd...

    Excuse me have you been told how much does that '16000 feet' cost?

    I giggled at the man and told him I was interested in the cable for prototyping, not production. When your budget looks like pocket change because it is, 800 phone numbers cut right to the chase.

    This morning I am thinking I will build my own cables. Then my cost is just colored wire and tubing.
