Repairing MIT IC´s question

jev · 25th June 2008, 08:27 PM

Hi,

Has anyone ever repaired MIT interconnects? I have a pair of recent Shotguns. There are four wires in each cable.

One white (signal)
One red (also signal, but less gauge)
One Black (earth)
One blue (also earth but only at the receiving end, less gauge)

I think the blue one is not connected at the sending end. Am I correct? Since this is strange I think. But then these are MIT´s....

Very strange.

Could a twisted pair only connected at one end possibly have any effect on the signal carried by the other two conductors? They aren't even twisted around the other pair; they just run down the center of the cable.

Thanks for the replies!

But mhh, indeed very strange

. But my impression seems to be correct. I thought I had accidently cut though the wire while desoldering. But apparently this is how it should be.
