PCMK card ??

Terry Boblitt · Sep 25, 2008

My new notebook PCMK card slot is farther towards the front of the pc. When you purchase the cable for the card you receive this stick on plastic holder that you attach to the back of the screen to keep the stress off of the cable. I need 6" extenson for the cable. Do they make such a thing?? Or is this just a dum question??

Not that I know of...

I had one ripped out by someone walking by and caught the cable, it destroyed the cable and card.

After that I placed the plastic piece on the front of the PC, that was a Sony on my Dell they are too thin to do that so I have no place to put it....

Let me know if you find one.

Will do..Thanks

If you have a Dell latitude like mine, I put the cable holder on the top of the laptop by the keyboard. There is enough room between the plane of the keyboard and the lid so that when it closes, there is no interference problem.

I attempted that but the lid wouldn't close--I tried..

After 2 times of having the unsecured cable pull out the card I cut the cable and extended it myself. It has be working fine

Wow, you have balls cutting the cable.....

jimtech67--how many wires in the cable?

Terry

jimtech67 · Sep 29, 2008

Its been a while, But I think it was about 12. It was a pain but its working fine

How did you splice them??

Yhanks Terry

mordred · Sep 29, 2008

there is two viable methods soldering with shrink wrap on top. or use butt splices For the number of wires I would go with method one. Method two would end up with a bulky mess

Terry Boblitt · Sep 29, 2008

I know I don't want to use butt splices. Didn't kniow how well they would solder??

jimtech67 · Sep 29, 2008

Soldering worked fine spliced in 22 AWG Shrink wrap each wire spiral wrap on the bundle
