Looking for 3 short word clock cables (bnc > bnc). Anyone got something just lying around...?

Where are people buying their WC cables these days? I can't find short (1-2 ft) cables anywhere.
Not wanting to spend an arm and a leg.

cheers

Hi Ben,

I got some off short BNCs off eBay a couple of years ago, but had to buy them from england - freight was cheap.

As an alternative, I have a BNC crimp tool and a few plugs and some terminators - I'm not going to use it again and it owes me $20 if you want to make your own...

:-)

I've always found it easier just to have these custom made to the lengths you need, I had a bunch done by Factory Sound years ago.

in a pinch you could also use SPDIF cables and just buy some RCA-BNC adaptors, that has worked for me in the past - just make sure that your SPDIF cables have the correct (crimped) 75ohm connectors and it should work fine.
