Default RE: Extension cables :need help

Hello guys ,

After i had a thorough reading of your replies later again , i am seriously in a position whether i got the correct concept imprinted . I ll let u know correctly of what picture i have in my mind.

What is this 'extension' referred to .

What is this 'lead' referred to. And how is soldering process linked to it and how u do that.

As to my knowledge, whatever extra length for connector the designer is providing from the default connector pin to the actual position of servo. is extension. Do u mean the 'direct connector' without any pins in between is called as lead !?

I know that as u increase the length of wire ; resistance automatically increases for that connector or cable. Does this have a considerable effect on the servo movement , ya ,even though torque is directly linked to the current supply from battery. Now will there be any time- lag which might hinder the response time to control the aircraft. With such long 2-3 ft extensions , do any kind of interferences exist in flight.

??? What is this " 22 guage wire " , Is this the classification of any normal electric wire or related to any dimension of the wire.

OK at this juncture , i would like to ask u one final thing;

How do u classify these 4-wire pin to pin connectors used in ur PC or any computer, even though they have the same universal
red +ve
balck -ve and other wire for signal.
Signal here refers to ' nothing but current ' whether its micro or milli, etc;

if resitance is low enough , Is there is any reason that the actual servo wires cannot be replaced here with such computer cables.
Is there any big difference between the strand count in wire or cable for the one which is given with radio control set { like aileron extension cables, heavy duty cables etc.. }and the one which is used in computer cables.


Please dont mind ; i am seriously young to this eletronic part, bcoz i am doing my engineering in aeronautical.
