XLR connector for 9mm cable

[headcrab]

I need a 3 pin XLR connector, male and female, that will accept a 9mm OD cable. My favorite connector (Pomona 6850/6581) doesn't accept a cable that big. Ideas?

You're going to have to explain your situation because I don't know of any stock XLR connectors that can support cable that large.

What cable are you using that has a Ø9mm?

This stuff:

For only $52.05 each when QTY 50+ purchased - 8.0mm Professional Microphone Bulk Cable - 250FT | 8.0mm Professional Microphone Cables

They claim its OD is 8mm, which works with my connectors, but the spool I have is actually 9mm OD. The cable is mostly elastomer. The conductors inside fit within a 4mm circle.

On a side note, there are arrows down the jacket. Possibly "signal flow" arrows in the manner of monster cable?
I have no intention of paying any attention to said markings. Let's not start a flame war here.

But he needs the connectors, not the cable

The OP (headcrab) was sharing what cable he was using, not posting a suggestion.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! That helps a lot.

Neutrik offers versions of their connectors that are made for large-diameter cables. Switchcraft connectors are pretty flexible, too, and you could probably make the cable fit their strain relief - the shell, on the other hand, may be an issue. Amphenol connectors are also available with large-diameter "cable jaws", but I don't prefer them as a brand overall.

I stand corrected Neutrik does cater to your needs.

That would have been nice to know when I went through my nylon sleeving phase.
