Competition Pro replacement cables

Hi everyone,

for another project we are currently evaluating if we can produce affordable replacement cables. These would have all 9 pins connected, therefore allowing for a secondary fire button etc. We would do 3m of cable plus a connector on one end.

If you are interested, please reply with the amount you'd like to have. This is not a binding bid, we just need to get a feel for demand so we can estimate production value.

I have no idea re price as of today, but would hope we can offer them for 10-15 Euros max. The cheaper the better of course...

Yes please! Hopefully you can get them made with reasonable quality cable, meaning not cotton with copper strands. Also please consider Speedlink compatibility, in case there is a difference in thickness at the place where the strain relief goes through the top case.

At that price range I'd probably grab five right away.

Would those fit on a TAC-2 or a Zipstik as well?

I just find the fact that they have both buttons act as the same FIRE button infuriating - a new 9-pin cable with everything connected would let me mod those to be separate buttons easily

If so, I am definitely interested in 2-3 cables.
