Cable Splice

I would be happy to....but sadly it would probably cost you as much in fuel to get it here as it would to replace the transducer/harness assembly. I am in Gravois mills.

Thanks, am gonna try to find someone closer to give it a shot,if not there is always the good ol postal service hahahah Thanks again for the interest.

Yeah I'm sure there's someone close to you that can do a good splice. Just have them seal it with liquid tape and shrink boot.

If nothing else you could proposition one of the AT&T guys the next time you see a service truck working on a line or pedestal.

Just grab one of his cones and hold it ransom, he'll do a pretty splice for ya.

I have done it successfully. It WAS a bit ugly, though. If I recall the shield is one conductor and much be joined and the center conductor is the other and must be joined, also. Solder the connections and use shrink wrap everywhere.

Correct, with one addition..... there may be a "foil" shroud around the center wire insulator that needs to be grounded also. That foil is a 2-ply shroud that is a conductor on one side and a non-conductor on the other. It needs to maintain continuity with the opposing piece.

This sounds more complicated than it is.

I've done it, but yes it was ugly and took me quite a bit of time. When I was done, the unit worked, but it had a noticable amount of interference. Unless I was in the middle of nowhere and needed it fixed *now* and was good at tidy electrical work on small parts, I'd buy a new transducer cable. Your mileage may vary.

Is that at me? And our cones are valuable!

You can do it. If I lived down there I would do it but I live in stl.
