I’ve had lava tight rope patch cables for years but had a few die recently, tried cutting and reconnecting but I’m
Guessing the cables might have a break somewhere.
Before I go out and buy some new patch cables does anyone have a stash of new lava tight rope cable?
Would be worth using my plugs if I can try, seems a waste to throw them out.

Re: Patch cables
I've got lava stuff on my board too. Found it difficult to assemble functioning cables until I started using a ruler to precisely cut them to the manufacturers spec. Now they all work first time. May not apply to you though...

Re: Patch cables
4mm of the inner copper wire 2mm of the white sleeve, 10mm of the shielding ( twisted ). No amount specified for the black sleeve so just a wee bit.
