Important - Lead length Reference Points

Please measure carefully:

Leads 1m or less (patch leads) will be measured by visible cable from the rear black boot of the connector. We add 110mm of cable FREE to compensate for the connectors.

Leads over 1m will be measured cut length of the cable. The connectors use up 110mm of cable.

If you need any specific length or need a little extra please ask - it can be made to that length as these are made to measure when we receive the order.

We can make the lead to an exact length if you want - Order the lead that is slightly longer and message us.

If you want a longer lead let us know.
