Wrist strap and ground
I have this anti-static wrist strap and a ZYX-209-I ESD wrist strap tester/monitor which I demonstrate in the video below.
PVC insulated cables
So I asked about cleaning cables over here and apparently the material on the outside of a typical cable is PVC (Polyvinyl chloride), AKA “vinyl”. The jury is still out on what the best cleaner is for vinyl, but options include WD40, IPA, and metho (ethanol). I was worried that such solvents might damage PVC around electrical cables, but apparently it won’t.
What is this cable called?
If you open up a disc drive you are liable to see cables such as the one pictured below. I’d like to know what these cables are called and if it’s possible to order them. I would want them in different widths and lengths. What should I search for?
