I've been obsessed with retractable audio cables recently, but all of them seem to be TRS, and I need one that is TRRS. I was thinking of making my own, which means I need a four conductor super flimsy wire. I could modify a USB cable, but I think I want some of this wire to use in future projects.
Is there a specific term to search for to find this stuff?
for the record this is what I'm talking about:
