00:05Alright, I spent way too long comparing connectors so you don't have to.
00:09This is 4mm banana plugs vs SMA connectors, which wins, and I tracked down the best deals on both sides
00:16of the fence.
00:17Stick around, because the winner surprised me.
00:20First up, this QSS 10-piece 4mm safety banana socket set, about 541.
00:27The star feature is the safety socket itself, the female jack is recessed, so exposed metal isn't sitting there waiting
00:33to short out your bench.
00:35It panel mounts too, which makes it a clean fix for any gear with a hole in the front panel.
00:4010 pieces for 5 bucks, rated 4.9 with almost 5,000 sold.
00:46Easy grab
00:47Next, the 4mm banana plug binding post adapter, 465.
00:53The feature I actually care about is the screw terminal on the back, clamp the wire, tighten the knob.
00:59No soldering iron, no heat shrink, no mess.
01:02Red and black versions so polarity is handled for you, and again a 4.9 rating on close to 5
01:08,000 sales.
01:09People are not returning these.
01:12Now the cheap one.
01:145 4mm banana plugs, 1 in each color, $2, and 5.
01:19Honestly, 5 pieces for 2 bucks is math I respect.
01:23The real feature is color coding red for positive, black for negative, the rest for labeling channels so you're not
01:29guessing which wire is which in the dark.
01:31Lowest rating here at 4.7, still comfortably worth it.
01:36This is my favorite value pick, 10 pairs of 4mm male plugs and female sockets with screw terminals, black and
01:42red, 327.
01:44You get 20 pieces, which is the whole point, the male end and female end live in the same box.
01:50The screw terminals let you terminate bare wire in about 30 seconds.
01:54If you build cables in bulk, nothing else on this list gives you this much for this little.
