I wired a D Sub connector for two sets of jacks for my RV 8 today.
I was trying to keep the shielding close to the connector (I'm using pins)as possible, but I think the distance from the shielding to the pins is too short. As a result,there was not a lot of room to easily place the pins in the correct sockets, and in fact some of the wires going into the sockets have way too much strain on them. I all works OK, but it looks awful and is not a job I'm proud of. How much room can I reasonably have between the shielding and the connector without causing any problems. I plan on doing the job over again.
Thanks
Steve
