upgraded cable for x2 digital wireless - parts?

[solo-act]

I posted on the ong x2 thread, but thought I'd do a thread for this.

I want to make my own cable for the transmitter and I'm trying to find the right plug for the locking mini plug.

Is the locking "1/8" trs plug a 2.5 mm or a 3.5 mm?
Confusing......... 1/8 = 3.17 mm

These guys call it a 1/8 plug

These guys call it a 2.5mm plug

Either way........is the switchcraft 851 the right plug to buy???

Well since its nothing but crickets cheeping on this thread, here's the info

This is the plug you want per X2 digital

The Switchcraft 851 won't work. Needs to be a trs (stereo) plug.
That BTX locking 1/8 inch stereo (cable mount) plug is only carried by a handful of people.

So there you have it dudes.

A local outfit said the part # for a switchcraft equivalent of the BTX is the Switchcraft 8751-CA. It can't be found on the net though. He said the reason you can't find it is because its a distributer bulk purchase only item. At least that's what I was told.

The BTX is $10, the local outfit said they can get the switchcraft at $6 each. http://ceavco.com/ 303-238-6493 and ask for Tony.

This is correct. I am making these as well and have the plugs in stock. Can use most of the stuff I have in stock, including the EA Lyric HG.
