Twins RCA cables


 

Curious if Drake supplied RCA cables to connect the twins together. I count 6 sets. I have plenty of RCA cables from years of audio and video connections but I want to make a nice set specifically for the twins laced together and labeled. If Drake did include or sell them, what was the length? I have some real nice RG174 size Teflon coax and connectors that will make a nice set. I know the length is not particularly critical, but was just curious what was standard, if there was a standard.

As noted by?Garey Barrell, K4OAH (2015), the Switchcraft 3502
is a great RCA connector, with a variety of finishes (chrome to matte black)

I think this is an example of the "real hams" make their own cables claim many like to make, he's just making an allowance for the elderly and handicapped...
