Custom wiring harness for 48 channel Wye interfacing

[Remoteness]

Please Note: I few Remotesters have asked me to show them pictures of my ELCO harnesses or how I Wye my multi-track recorders in posts, PMs and emails, so I figured I'd copy over this post and the responses from the What's on your digital camera? thread I have up as a sticky.

Here are a couple of pictures of the custom cable harness I designed for TBM's portable mini patch bay.

They have 2 built in ELCO90 (dual 24 channel) Wye cords and additional 8 channels of inline XLRs for whatever you want to patch to/from the patch bay.

That's a 48 channel Wye cord plus 8 (4 male; 4 female) XLRs all in one cable harness.
It keeps our cable jungle clean and organized.

Very important note:
We hired a professional photographer to take pictures of our cables and wires, but she missed her flight out of Los Angeles, so Elco Heveron-Smith ended up taking the the pictures himself. He also was responsible for wiring this wild and crazy looking harness.

It's such a pity we did not capture the visual properly.

That's a hell of a cable loom, Steve. It looks like you left off the strain relief clamp from the Y'ed Elco. Did you come up with some brilliant way to handle the strain relief? I'm sure you did so please explain.

LOL - you're killing me Steve!

Yeah, that cable loom is indeed a doozy.

We didn't have enough time to wait for delivery of any Kleem grips because we were a day or so away from using the new harness on TBM.

I wish I could have given you a more clever answer, but sometimes you have to weight out the options and go for what's better for that moment.
