I bought a 16-pin bus cable to supply power to my Eurorack.

They cost 90 yen each and were purchased from a store that offers a wide range of lengths.

I have bought several bus cables from the same store in the past, but this one had a defect.


The red wire is on the other side.

If you follow the "Red line" instructions on the module to connect the bus cable, the current will flow backwards and can cause fatal problems.


When I told the seller about the problem, he gave me a full refund. I had a good feeling about that.

However, it seems that we need to be careful about fakes and defects when buying parts from Aliexpress.

I have one cable like this I made deliberately; it pairs with a module where I also accidentally flipped the power socket. I wasn't easily able to desolder the socket, so instead I compensated with a custom cable :)
