What is the best way to provide strain relief on multicables? I posted a thread a while back describing the issues we are having. The cable hasn't been terminated correctly and there is no chance of getting the money for the socapex connectors or anything else for that matter(They can barely pay to keep me for the summer to do the work). I'm just looking to patch them up for the next year, the theatre is being completely renovated starting next May.
We're hoping that since they have an extra $400,000(supposedly) in the renovation budget that we'll be getting some new gear. We're hoping for 1-1 dimming in the new space and I'm going to recommend the replacement of multicable be on the top of the list.
Unfortunately I'm being placed in the position of being told to fix everything lighting related this summer with a very small if existant budget for parts(Still trying to figure out how I'm sending dimmers in for repair with no money).
I'm dealing with the sparking by cutting the cable back where the outer Jacket ends and striping back the outer Jacket about 2 foot, essentially duplicating what's already there but removing the bad sections on the ends.
