What tool can I use to cut the cable? I want to adjust the length and cut the cable without flattening out the wire inside.

Simple wire cutters should be sufficient. If they are sharp, they won't flatten the cable - the cable is thin enough to not be a problem. I would not use the "cutters" on pliers or on a leatherman multi tool or similar - normal but sharp wire cutters will do fine.

The best answer is a small pair of Cable Cutters which would do the best job. The two intersecting blades are curved or have a V notch on each blade thus distributing the cutting pressure more evenly around the cable. Since the cable is quite small it will probably be hard to find a pair small enough. Search on the internet for Small Cable cutters. If you know an electrician he might have something that would work. Best I can suggest.

I have cut two of these ropes now and the first one was a snap. I used a good pair of wire cutters that we had around the house for years. They were my Dad's and they were well made and still sharp. They didn't smash the cable at all. Another time I was visiting a friend and helping him cut his rope but he only had some cheap rusty old wire cutters and that was tougher. I realized that not all wire cutters are created equally. So make sure you have a good pair of wire clippers.

I used a pair of wire cutters; if the ends get flat a bit, it doesn't impeed the performance of the rope at all. Once cut, you place the cap back on the end.

You could easily cut and splice a longer cord (it is just two wires). Hope this helps JOHN

It is very possible to cut the end of the cable off and remove the integrated cable. You would then have to feed an unterminated cable through the arm and re-terminate with an XLR (male) connector. Pretty simple to do if you look up the process for termination. I on the other hand just zip tied the cable to the arm and made sure to leave a little slack so you can pivot the arm and adjust the cable appropriately. Hope this helps =)

try a bicycle shop.Most cables have a standard end ( or can be filed to fit) and can be cut to length

Cable length is around 15 feet and no it cannot be trimmed. It can be replaced with a different length though.

I have the same question because I have a tool that works just fine with cat 5 cables, but with cat 6 STP I need something that will handle the thicker jacket. If I force the cable into the recess to strip off the outside, a traditional cutter will cut through the wires. Since the tool should be for both cutting, stripping the jacket and crimping, one that can squeeze the connector alone doesn't make it the right tool.

At any hardware or home improvement store. You could even use a small extension cord and cut off the female end.

You can buy plug adapters to extend cables. While it might be the easiest method it is not the best method, and should ONLY be performed indoors. (this is the first one that popped up for me: ASIN: B000BSLW8U). I purchased a 1000' box of cable and a crimper and I've been using it around the house for years.

As shipped the cable would not meet your needs. However, if you are knowledgeable about electrical work I see no reason you could not splice the necessary length of cord into the current cord. Unfortunately you void out all warranties by do this. I'd suggest you see a certified electrician about doing the splicing for you. Good luck.

I used an electrical connector crimper (handheld), size blue i believe. It seems to work fine and has not come apart. Before you cut, I added about an extra 1/4" because the cable is easier to compress, instead of stretching.

Oops... I did the same thing. This is a dumb device - with a mechanical memory - only knowing 1 combination. I ended up cutting the cable. - Good news, it's a good lock - it was difficult to cut. I replaced with a number lock - I can remember -better. Sorry, Jim

This tool only compresses the connectors, a stripping tool is necessary for removing the outer jacket. Try searching for a "cable prep" tool, hope that helps.

We bought the HK Porter Wire Rope and Cable Cutter sold by Amazon and it works great. Only about twenty bucks and is the best tool for the job.

because its metal item, try using a metal/aluminum/steel cutter. Best guess. Did not have to adjust my length.

its easier to just use u-claps that squeezes the cable together after you loop it to get the lenght you need and just hang the rest on the hook at apposdite of the spring just in cas you need to move it and you end up needing more lenght thats what i did.otherwise you need a real good pair of bolt cutters to cut it and it can be tough

In the middle of the cable is a smaller co-ax male/female splice. It's smaller than what you used to plug into the back of your tv (cable tv). I'm sure radio shack or frys electronics could fix you up
