Shielded Wire...

[Coda]

Yeah, or trim it to the jacket, heat-shrink if you are a neat-freak.

I have been called many things, but never a neat freak. Quite the opposite, actually. I’m not messy, though...just passionate.

depends on my mood....today was partly tidy with a chance of disorderly.

Here's a few of the rean pancake patch cables I whipped up next to some other patch cables. Squareplugs are for sure nicer but these are a nice option for lower profile diy than other right angles. These are with mogami 2319. I ordered enough to make 6 but might order a handful more to overhaul my pedalboard setup. Not sure I could get the logo off without messing up the rest of the finish but it's less intrusive looking in real life than I was assuming.

I‘ve always used a tooth pick to unravel the braid before either twisting it into a ground contact or cutting it off.

I’m a brute. I slice the outer layer with a razor, cut it off, cut the braid down one side and twist it and then melt the interior jacket off.

It all gets heat shrinked anyway so you never see the brutality inflicted and it’s easier and faster.
