Monteey Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Right i've set myself a little project and need to know where to get certain bits to achieve it. Basically what i want to do is have an external looping system connected to the system whereby a protected cable (probably in some sort of flexi conduit) snakes through some bicycles then back with some sort of waterproof, preferably screw in sleeved connector on the other end. Inside i intend to put a keyswitch to lockout the circuit when the customer needs to disconnect the socket. What im after most is somewhere i can get proper quality external connectors and maybe even decent cable that can stand up to a bit of rough from being threaded through bicycles.

PJF Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 For the plugs have a look at RS, the range is called Bulgin Buccaneer(honest). I used these not long ago when installing temp cameras on a ferry boat & found them to be spot on. As for the cable, would you only need a pair ?. What about 1.5 3c artic flex and ditch the third core. Top tip: if you ever catch fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because i bet thats what REALLY throws you into a panic and dont forget the one thing you cant recycle is wasted time.

Guest Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 You only actually need a minimum of 1 core. If there are any more cores than that then loop the circuit up and down the cores so as to tamper protect it a bit. If you want some decent rigid cable look at armaflex, the braided flex with an overal PVC sheath, v heavy duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
