Time well spent.

Did you make sure the rear of the gear is supported properly?
One good drop and you could have a twisted mess.

I also use or purchase fan to fan (TRS or XLR) 8 to 24 pair snakes and cut them in half to create ELCO or DSSUB harnesses.

Like you mentioned, it's a great way to save time and a bit of cash.

It was my pleasure to help you out; more power to you my GS friend!

To save a little time and money I had a bunch of 8, 12 and 16 channel snakes I re-used into the male Elco's (which has TRS plugs on the other end that stay in the HD24's). The splitter didn't come out as good as I hoped, but it will be fine. I ended up a little short on wire and couldn't route it the way I wanted, but it still works fine. Thanks again for taking the time to point me in the right direction!
