Need CX-4723 Cables

[jonesal]

I'm looking for 7-foot and 9 foot CX-4723 cables. One each. I've tried Fair Radio and a few other places, but no luck. The only length I can find is 18 feet! Any suggestions out there?? If I have to, I can use something longer within reason.

I would also be interested in picking up one more C-2298 that isn't beat up.

Thanks for any help out there.

Funny you should mention these cables - I just started looking for an extra one today to take the 18 pin connectors from, as I'm intending to hook two ham rigs into the VIC-1 I'm installing in one of my M35's (well, one ham rig and one GRC-106). I've typically seen 10 foot cables in the past; where did you find 18 foot cables? I could purchase one of those and cut it in half for my applications.

You could also shorten a long one for your application; Fair Radio has a tool for taking the connectors apart that would allow you to customize the cable for your application. I think the locking ring tool was $20.

The longest Fair Radio has is 5 feet so unless I can stretch it... I don't want to fuss cutting one down unless I absolutely have to. I'll keep searching and hope someone on this list points me in the right direction.

Ten footers will work!

Thanks,

Me thinks there's one or two in one of my "cable" boxes. Give me a few days to dig for it.

Thanks, the FleaBay ones are 5 and 18 feet long. I need a 9 footer to finish my project - ok, a 10 footer would work fine too. I'll keep searching.

Bill in Idaho, thanks for looking. BTW, I grew up in Mtn. Home and Island Park, ID. Sure miss the Gem State...

Thanks,

I haven't forgot, I was called in for overtime on my days off.
Stand by....

The HMMWV uses a couple of 19 and 23 foot long CX-4723s for some reason. I may have some kicking around. I'll check when I get home again.

Interesting the HMMWV uses cables that long. I bought the 18 foot cable that was on eBay from Canada - and use in the HMMWV makes sense, given the date on the sealed plastic bag - 2001.
