Making combo power/DMX cables
At work we've been looking into buying combo DMX-power cables for short runs of daisy chaining fixtures together. There are a few places that sell these for - frankly - ridiculous amounts of money.
I am perfectly able to make and heatshrink cables together, BUT this is not something I've done before. My questions here boil down to:
- Is there any particular heatshrink I should be using? Or just, whatever will shrink to the size I need it?
- How are the premade cables like this so round? Surely if the power and signal are run as different cables the heatshrunk cable should look more like an "8". Are they putting filler in those things?
