If I were you and ever wanted to have the chance to resell these cables, I would send them back to Cardas & have them do the work. If you don't have the certification, they can take care of that at the same time.
Soldering Cardas interconnect cables
Hi,
Need some help on soldering the Cardas Cross interconnect cables to the RCA plugs.
After I cut away the rubber shielding, the center core has 4 sets of cables - colored in white, green, blue and black. Just outside this set of 4, there are a few strands (copper) that goes round this set of 4 and then just underneath the external brown rubber there are a larger strand of copper cables.
Do I solder the set of 4 into the inner pin of the RCA and the external strand of copper (just beneath the brown rubber) on to the external shell of the RCA plug?
I did that and the sound through the cable was very soft. Anyone knows whats wrong or am I doing it wrongly?
Thanks for any heads up!!
