Hey all,
We're building some lab equipment and I want to pick some kind of cable to carry power (5,12,15 V, with 5 being high current at 5 amps) from our linear DC supplies (mostly acopian boxes) to our custom instruments. I'm looking for some off-the-shelf connector that I can use to carry 3 voltages (so 4 pins + shield) to an instrument, where high quality cables are also cheaply available. At first glance, XLR seems perfect. High current capacity, cheap cables, well shielded, nearly ideal. I just want something with more pins. Any suggestions?
