Cables and general system implementation

Hi, My application involves a central circuit with about 30 components, and 4 shielded curly cables each with 4 wires, attaching to this central circuit. It is a very small scale project, possibly only for myself, perhaps for a few friends, at most a few dozen. I think I can create the central circuit with SMD components, from the parts here, and get it built OK. (Does easyeda do circuit assembly? Not sure from my reading.) My main problem is the cabling. If I specify 6-way 2.54mm connectors, the size of the circuit increases substantially, and I find it very hard to attach wires to the plugs. Also very time consuming. Then I thought, why not use curly shielded usb cables. Should be possible to set connectors on the central circuit. The other ends of the cables need to attach to, variously, DIN connector, 3.5mm stereo, 2.5mm stereo connectors, and another circuit. What I want is to have these cables made up for me, as I have found I am a very unreliable solderer, and these cables are used in reasonably critical communications situations. Can anybody make any suggestions about custom cabling assembly? Regards, Peter

Hi, After a lot of googling I realised that my dream of a cheap custom cable manufacturer able to make the necessary cables and connectors was unattainable. Rather one needs to modify the circuit connections to use cheap off-the-shelf cables as far as possible, with a few local places able to do custom cables as needed. Thanks for all the views, still learning this craft, rather excited by the potential actually, cheers,

Hi Our PCB order is transfer to JLCPCB.com to finish, they still not ready component assembly yet.

@Peterg17, "Rather one needs to modify the circuit connections to use cheap off-the-shelf cables as far as possible..." As you are discovering, I think you will be forced into having connectors on your PCB so that you can then plug in commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) cable assemblies.
