provide pictures of the cable and connectors and i'll let you know. i make ribbon cables. very easy to work with. the connectors are idc (insulation displacement contact). an idc crimp tool uses 2 parallel jaws to compress the connector. a vice will work just as well with a little practice.

Prove your connections, use a meter!

I was just reading through this post and that is one amazing link. One question... Do you work for NASA? If you do, then that is so cool.

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

Even waaay more intersting is their document on soldering techniques. Crack a beer.... it's a long and intensive read....
