Signal shielded wire

[TooL46_2]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering what sort of shielded wire are you using in your amps? And (even more important ) -- where do you source it from?

In Australia I have an access to a very thin shielded cable that snaps almost all the time once it's solderd. It's like 0.5mm in diameter... Looking for something thicker and more durable.

Thanks for any tips!

PS. Sorry, if the topic has already been covered. Used the search but couldn't find any good answer to my question.

RG 174--Hoffman sells it by the foot.

Apex Junior is another excellent source.

Thanks Aleks! One can always count on you!

Apparently Mouser also has Australian page but don't know if they actually ship from Australia. I doubt it to be honest...

I use RG-174 - it is a mini coax cable. I came across a sizeable stash years ago at a ham radio flea market. You can still buy it through any radio supply house. It's good stuff.
