I am challenged to find a 25' 3.5mm mono cable...

... at a reasonable price. I've found one, but with shipping it's $26. That sounds a bit on the high side. I don't see any at monocables.com or anywhere else for that matter. Seem like there are plenty of stereo cables, but mono cables appear to be rare.

Specifically I need a 25' 3.5mm mono male to male cable to go from my preamp 12volt trigger to a Panamax unit. I could probably use a 20' mono extension with one of the 6' mono cables I have now.

Anyone got any suggestions short of making my own, which would require me shop Radio Shack and probably pay about as much as a prefab one would cost.

And a 3-conductor stereo cable won't work?

[Sonnie]

Nope... it won't trigger.

How about combining a 25' RCA cable with mono RCA->3.5mm adapters? Might even have the parts laying around from building your REQW kit.

[Sonnie]

Yeah... I could do that, but I need a small cable to tuck underneath my baseboard. I already have a balanced cable running back there for the signal and this cable will have to go behind it... very tight quarters.

I think I may have some small cable somewhere here and I'll just cut the ends of the 6' mono cable I have here and add the wire in between. It's not like it has to be pretty or perfect since it's only carrying something like 50ma of DC.

Sounds like it's Radioshack/soldering time.
