Kemper remote cable alternatives

maxd

The cable that comes with the Kemper is think, heavy and too long for my studio, practice needs, I could do with a shorter and more flexible equivalent.  Well I found one, rather expensive at £14.63 but I thought I'd go for it, however, there's a minimum charge of £35 and if I buy a second longer one too, by the time the delivery of £10 is added and then the VAT my expensive £14.63 lead costs about £54!!.  So, anyone got any alternatives, or does anyone else want one such that the unit price might come down if we buy between us?

This is cabe I want, and personally the 2m length would be fine for me:

You could just use a CAT5e patch lead - won't be as tough but they're a fraction of the cost.

Or £16 something from Amazon.

Those Ethercon connectors aren't cheap.

You know what I like most about this thread,

I can't afford the remote, so I don't have your struggle.

So ha. ha ha ha.

I guess you could afford to break a few at that price.  In the end I found a 3m one for about £13 on Amazon, cable's not so flexible it seems but it'll do so I bought one of those.
