Splicing component cables

Post by P71Ryan »

I just purchased a Hava Platinum for recording Xbox 360 video. I didn't realize that I needed a double female connector so I don't have one right now. Radio Shack didn't have anything in store so I was wondering if I could just cut and connect the wires with a butt connector or maybe solder. I ordered the 3 connector double female, just wondering if it is possible.

Yes, you can just cut and splice them. Butt or bullet connectors would work very well, and look neat. There are also regular crimp-on barrel connectors. They're usually next to the butt/bullet/ring crimping connectors.

Be sure to splice each ground AS WELL AS each signal wire.
