Roy makes some good points.


He invariably does!

However, for this application, I think
what is also important is that the cables be identical.

If you make the same mistake on all of them then they are still
"identical".

Lay them out and cut them all at the same time. To reinforce what Roy
said, one thing you absolutely -do not- want to happen is to have the
center pin protrude too far. If it bottoms in the mating connector on
your analyzer and damages it you will not be a happy camper.


Okay, thanks, guys. I'm taking everything on board. If there's
anything else that comes to mind, I'd be keen to hear it.
