Flexible cable controllers 1.5m + 3 Bananas

The cable that makes a difference in your slot controller's response

When preparing a controller for club or competition, the cable is one of those details that experienced enthusiasts do not leave to chance. The SP138001 from Sloting Plus is specifically designed for this use: extra flexible, lightweight, and with excellent conductivity thanks to its 55 copper strands per sleeve, which ensure the clean signal required for good trigger adjustment.

Technical specifications

• Material: copper wire with silicone sleeve
• Outer diameter: 6 mm

Why choose a silicone cable for your controller

The silicone sleeve offers two key advantages over other materials: flexibility and lightness. A rigid or heavy cable creates resistance to hand movement during driving, which ultimately translates into unwanted micro-variations in the trigger. With this cable, the controller is handled naturally, without tensions or stiffness that interfere with driving.

Moreover, silicone tolerates temperature variations typical of a club venue or a long training session well, without hardening or losing flexibility over time.

The 3 x 4 mm bananas: direct connection

The pack includes three 4 mm bananas, the usual standard in slot controllers. This way, the cable arrives ready to install: there is no need to look for connectors separately or improvise solutions. Especially useful when renewing the wiring of an existing controller or when building one from scratch.

Assembly and preparation

The installation process is straightforward for any enthusiast with basic soldering experience or handling banana connectors. Simply cut the cable to the desired length, carefully strip the end to avoid damaging the copper strands, and secure the banana with crimping or soldering according to personal preference. Sloting Plus recommends not forcing very tight bends near the connection points to preserve the integrity of the strands in the long term.

Who is this cable for?

Designed for any enthusiast looking to renew or improve the wiring of their slot controller, whether it is a commercial controller being upgraded to a higher quality cable, or a handmade controller of their own construction. It is also a good option for preparation workshops and clubs that keep spare parts in stock for their members.

Frequently asked questions

Is it compatible with any slot controller?

Yes. As it is a standard cable with 4 mm bananas, it fits the vast majority of controllers on the market that use this type of connector, regardless of the brand.

Can I cut the cable to a shorter length?

Of course. The 1.5 m allows you to adjust the length according to the distance between the controller and the track or according to the driver's preferences. The cut can be made with scissors or a cutter, and the end strips easily thanks to the silicone sleeve.

How many copper strands does each sleeve have?

Each of the three sleeves that make up the cable contains 55 copper strands inside, which gives it its characteristic flexibility and good electrical conductivity.

Do the bananas come pre-mounted or do they need to be installed?

The three 4 mm bananas are included in the pack but are mounted by the user, allowing them to be placed exactly where needed according to the controller's design.

Is this cable suitable for other uses in the slot hobby besides controllers?

Its flexibility and 1.5 mm cross-section make it suitable for general electrical connections in the slot field, although it is specifically designed and sized for controllers.
