'twas thinking of a short board-to-board jumper with connectors; connectors for serviceability and debug purposes... there are some pretty high voltages present elsewhere on PCB such that removal of PCB might be desirable for debug / rework...
Thought: CAT5 twisted pair... for a short (6-inch? ~ 15.24 cm?) patch cable, and just have simple CAT 5 connectors on each PCB.... About to do a respin anyway....
CAT 5 UTP is typical (unshielded).... Although STP (shielded) is available....
The 4-twisted pairs would be ideal for a bundled solution, for stereo in and out from board-to-board...
but.... this ain't individually shielded microphone cable.... cross talk at these audio frequencies with CAT5? I know of NEXT and FEXT (near-end / far-end crosstalk) for ethernet on these (typically long) CAT5 cables at RF frequencies.... is this the same for audio? I have no idea...
COTS CAT5 type of wire/jumpers would be ideal if there aren't any audio issues... Thoughts? Thanks!
