where to get pre-assembled canare/mogami cables

ok. well, honestly, I don't want to make my own cables and it has nothing to do with me being a gal. it has to do with time... don't have any! also I tried terminating an ethernet cable and well, the results were not favorable. then again that was only one time and I'm sure with practice I could get the art of terminating and soldering cable down... i digress though. the question I have for you is: I used to work for an internet company and you could just call the cable people, tell them which cable you wanted how long, with which end connectors and they would assemble it all for you and ship it out. I'm looking now for vendors/suppliers who will do the same for mic cable. I've read threads and threads about getting cable by the foot and where to get connectors to make your own cable, but....
1) is there a dealer online that I can call/go to that can preassemble some mogami or canare cable with neutrik or switchcraft (whichever is cheaper i guess) connectors? I went to full compass, but I'm not sure if they do the preassembled stuff for you...
2) have any of you ordered preassembled cable and what was your experience with it?

thanks in advance for your help!

*oh! so the object was to cut the casing and NOT the cable?*

There ain't nuffin' worse than the smell of singed wabbit fur and solder flux.

As far as ready made cables goes............I can't comment cos' I make my own BUT they are out there........somewhere.

WATCH THE FUR!!!! WATCH THE FUR!!!!

Your resale value goes down immensely if you have singe marks!

Of course, we could just describe your coloring as "smoky"!

I'm just wondering what terminating an ethernet cable has to do with soldering.... In my experience those plastic rj-45's don't play well with molten lead.

Use that there new fangeled plastic solder.

10-base-T coaxial ethernet cable requires a 50 ohm terminator. This type of cable isn't used much anymore as it is a bus topology with a 10mb maximum transfer rate and presents a single point of failure for all nodes on the segment. Hey...you asked.

ok! i'm off to shop at full compass and markeratek (sp?). thanks for the quick reply. and on the ethernet cable side topic, that's true there is no soldering involved, just casing removal and termination of ends (cutting the wires flat across and wires that must go with other colored wires) and shoving the whole thing into the RJ45 jack in the eXactly correct perfect way. making audio cable sounds 10X more intricate (soldering, shrinking, and heating!!!) so KUDOS to all you guys who do make your own cables... i'm off to go get cable! thanks!
