Texecom Premier Elite - Cut Cable :(


Recommended Posts

Good morning gents! Well, somebody certainly had a fun Sat evening, I can tell you that much! :o

 

Here is the end result. The system works fine. It doesn't look particularly tidy and I think the extension piece is a little long, but I prefer it to be lose and dangling (!) so there is no stress on the cables.

 

1. I stripped back the wiring

2. Slid on some 2mm diameter shrink wrap

3. Twisted each pair of wires together 

4. Added a small bit of solder

5. Used a heat gun on the shrinwrap

 

The only slight issue is that I was a bit overzealous with the gun in terms of temperatures and melted the plastic sheath of one of the wires, which has now exposed the metal in the cable :( so taped that up with a tiny bit of gaffa tape (I didn't have any electrical tape at the time). I have highlighted this with a blue square in the image.

 

The cupboard will be up against the wall, with a gap between wall / cupboard of about 8 to 10mm so the wiring will sit there quite happily.

 

Feedback (however critical) is welcome - can't improve ourselves without it! :)
