Cable pinout generator
Pick a connector for each end of a cable and the tool draws the wiring diagram showing how to join them, including Y-split cables. A free reference for location sound and production audio work: no sign-up, and it prints.
What the generator covers
Audio cables between the connectors on a location sound kit: XLR, TA3 and TA5, 3-pin LEMO wireless transmitter inputs and 3.5 mm mono and stereo jacks, with Y-splits in either direction (one source split across two legs, or the same signal copied to both). Timecode cables for cameras and recorders: LEMO 00 and 0B, BNC and 3.5 mm jacks. Power cables: D-Tap, 4-pin XLR, Hirose and LEMO. Each diagram lists the connector part numbers and the contact-to-contact wiring for both ends.
The tool illustrates common, industry-conventional wiring for signal-level audio, timecode and power cables. Always verify against the documentation for your specific equipment before cutting or soldering a cable. That matters most for connectors without an industry-wide standard (LEMO, wireless beltpacks), for power cables, and for safety-relevant aviation headset wiring.
Built by Richard Hubbard, who does location sound recording in Perth: these are the connectors on the audio kit these cables run between. For a LEMO in particular, see the 3-pin LEMO soldering guide.
