Contacting ASAP! Cables are done!

WTF?

Feel free to PM me.

Looking for another update on ORDER #3484 (sent an email last night as well to info address)

Placed on 7 April

Was told it was being shipped out on 21 April... haven't seen anything tracking # wise or actual product.

While a partial refund was the right thing to do and good customer service, I am now extremely disappointed with how long it is taking to get my order to me!

Axion, I will make sure that goes through. Shoot me a pm. Thanks!

refund never came through not that I expect one..but cables are nice.

that is by far the most cracked out logic to be said by anyone ever!

Jaboki, we dont have any in stock as we make them on a per job basis. We are now finally caught up all existing orders will be sent out on Monday and I will be applying a discount to them as they took a long time to get out.

All cables should go out much faster now.

If you make a cable order make sure to contact me so I can personally make sure your order gets out quicker. We get a ton of orders for other things and by contacting me it helps us expedite you order.

Do you have some in stock? I was thinking of ordering if you do.

We will send you a MSG!

Can I get an ETA for order #3484 placed on 7 Apr?  (my second order since I was pleased with my first)  was hoping things would be moving faster now...

Hey guys, we were out of town for a few days.

I have emailed everyone back about their orders, we had some weird issues with our shipping service but its all fixed now.

Thanks for your paitence.

Ordered 21st March and nothing. Eventually got a PM with tracking number - the package got delivered to somewhere in the states (Im in Australia) so absolute shambles I know they had issues with shipping but this is ridiculous. They haven't responded to my message from a few days ago now. Very poor.

Look on the bright side. You could have received a cable with reversed polarity plugs and fried your miners with that. Just saying.

I'm still waiting on order 3336 placed on March 24th. I would have made these myself in a few days had I known I would be waiting for 21+ days without them even being shipped--and these are not even sleeved cables. $250 negative ROI on cables I haven't received and more lost ROI for idle miners and increasing network hash rates.
 

Axion, we will contact you asap. I believe we got yours back from the post. Will get it sent out again asap!
We will also be refunding it because you had to wait. =)

Still waiting on order from March 21..:/

Order was received, but a slight shipping delay, weather based, can't really fault them for that.

All the cables were assembled with care and maintained a high level of quality with an attention to detail. I'd order again from them if I need more.

Great cables... another order placed

Can you send me tracking info as well - PM'd you with details a few days ago..

Will get you out tracking axion asap!

Has order# 3300 shipped? No tracking info

PM'd you as I don't have tracking

Yes allot got shipped out, we are working on more cables now for newer orders.

If you have not gotten an email with tracking please get let us know.

Thanks for your support and purchases! I am glad we can provide a needed service!

Any news did some get shipping?

A quick update. It looks like everything should go out today! Its still really bad out but the delay should be short.

Hello Everyone.

We have printed and packed up packages up to the point where we are caught up.

Unfortunately we got 8-10 in snow and its still falling so there will be some delays in shipping but I will keep everyone up to date with their order. We are supposed to have bad weather like this for 2 days but from past experience normally is just slows the packages down maybe a day or two.

If you have any questions on your cables feel free to send me a msg.

Yes everyone will get a tracking number! Thanks for your orders.

We are final testing a huge batch and then they are going out. We should be a little ahead when this one goes out today.

Thanks for waiting I know you all are chomping at the bit to get going, but we want to make sure you get quality.

Placed mine I think on 21st or 22nd - do we get a tracking number for international orders or anything?

Are there any updates to the timelines?  I placed my order on Mar 19th but haven't received any shipping updates.

Got my trunk and 15x branch. Cables are very high quality. If I need more, I will be ordering from Lutro0.

Thats awesome to hear! Thanks for the compliment!

The cables worked out great..spacing of each plug allows for a few different setups.  Very happy with my order from these guys.

OP has been updated as well as the product page on www.lutro0customs.com with the latest info on custom orders for Gridseed Cables and the latest product info.

Lutro0 has also informed me that he has emailed everyone the timetable and will update it again after the work day tomorrow.

If you have already gotten your cables feel free to share your thoughts.

I have the updated estimated timeline for everyone's orders. I will list the date of order and then the earliest shipping date followed by the latest shipping date.

Please remember that all orders will be shipping via USPS Priority Mail which means that they are guaranteed to ship in 1-3 days (however normally its more like 1-2)

Orders placed on March 18th : Earliest shipping date is Today, Latest shipping date is Friday the 28th (please note orders have already started to go out for this group)

Orders placed on March 19th : Earliest shipping date is Thursday the 27th, Latest shipping date is Saturday the 29th

Orders placed through March 20th - 21st : Earliest shipping date is Friday the 28th, Latest shipping date is Tuesday, April 1st

Orders placed through March 22nd - 24th : Earliest shipping date is Monday the 31st, Latest shipping date is Wednesday, April 2nd

Orders placed on or after March 25th : Earliest shipping date is Monday the 31st

Thanks for your patience while we get your cables out, it takes time to make quality cables that will last. Even more so cable that will be abused and constantly used like you will be using yours for. So every connection needs to be tested and it needs to be perfectly crimped and shrunk so that you get stable power and use out of these cables.

We are both coming in early and staying late to get these done as fast as possible. We will most likely get everyone's cables done way sooner then the above timeline but I wanted to give you all an estimate.

Here is a shot of some of the prep work we already have ready for tomorrow.

I also wanted to mention that any cables that Lutro0 Customs makes comes with a Lifetime Warranty, this means if it breaks or you break it all you need to do is pay for the shipping to me and back and I will fix it for free.

Another interesting aspect of our shop is that we livestream our work everyday. So if you wanted to drop in to ask some questions about your cables or order or just wanted to see how we make them please feel free to drop in @ http://www.justin.tv/lutro0

Thanks again for your orders. I will be updating the timetable as we go so that if we end up early (which I know we will be) I can let you know a better estimate on your cables.

No problem thanks for making the order.


Some people got rush orders and group buys, but your order will be going out today via Priority which normally gets there in 1-3 days (most of the time 1-2)

I will be posting a expected timeline for all orders and when people should expect them here soon. Everyone will be getting a tracking number when we ship them (the tracking numbers will be emailed around 3pm to 4:30pm which is when we make the labels)

Josiah and I are both cranking out the cables as fast as possible while keeping top quality. (read as lots of Monster and Red Bull till 1am in the morn!)

Thanks again for the massive amounts of orders. I will also be contacting everyone personally to let them know when to expect their orders after I post the estimated timeline. We know you guys need these cables ASAP and we will make certain that happens!

Hmmm - I bought the first day (#3256 / 18 Mar @ 1613 EST) and you already got yours eh?  (wondering if I will have a package waiting when I get home, but have no tracking info)

Cables arrived at the same time as my some of my gridseeds...quality looks really good.  Thanks for getting this shipped so fast for me and saving me the hassle of making my own.  



pictures are broken here..



http://i.imgur.com/aGkQiP0.jpg

You should love them. I look forward to the pics!

Looks like my cables arrive tomorrow!  I will post pics once I get them unpacked..so glad I didn't have to rig up my own.

Thanks for your order bobsag3!



Also I wanted to personally thank everyone who has ordered cables so far. You all have made this a fun side project for us and its always great to meet new people!

Please feel free to ask any questions and I will get on them asap.

You may email me @ [email protected] now that I am back in the shop!

We just sent out a grip of trunks and branches!

Yes, I am going through all of them right now. I will get you an answer right away!

Just got back from out of town, Thanks for your patience!

Any updates on this?  I've tried e-mail and PM to get my order revised and no reply.

Looking forward to getting my order.

I'm not sure of the exact pinout of the branches and I don't have them with me right now.  I will talk to Lutro0 ASAP to find out.  The original point was to be able to hook up 45 gridseeds to one PCI-E cable with a trunk.  I see your point, for sure.


Lutro0 (Mike) is travelling right now but they are very good about making changes and modifying orders.  If you don't get a response tomorrow please PM me and I will look in to it!

I have some more pictures of my actual setup...

Not as pretty as I hoped to make it, but I didn't want to spend more time on it.  Plus I have a lot of space to work with so I didn't need to do anything crazy.

Side view 2



Lighter side view



I must say they are prettier than DIY cables and kept me really organized and neat.  No lose ends, all shrink wrapped and pretty.  The ends may be a little ugly because they are terminals because that's the fastest thing we could find to get all the preorders out today.  At some point I do want to power up my units

Lutro I emailed you guys about making a change to my order please get back to me if possible

Is there a reason why to each "branch" is say's you need the "trunk" ? Can I not plug in the "branch 10" into the PCI-e on my PSU to power 10 units from each pci-e output I have?

Rammy,

Feel free to email [email protected]

I am out of town until Tues, but all orders are going out as planned.

Thanks everyone for the awesome response for these cables.

Also we do ship worldwide.

no reply for days ... moving on ...

Hi, Love your work - would you ship to Germany?

Interested in a bulk order - split into different options for the 5,10 sets plus applicable trunks etc.

Thanks
Paul

Lookin good! 

I like the daisy chain idea, but man those plugs are horrendous! haha, but i guess form over fashion

Danny

Got my first set of cables today and wanted to take some pictures ASAP.  The GridSeeds were powered up before using old shitty cables.  I've taken some pictures to just show off the sleek look that Lutro0 Customs have put on these bad boys.

The Trunk



Branch 10



10 GridSeeds setup with a trunk and a branch 10.  Another Branch 10 next to it waiting for another 10 Gridseeds

Thanks for your patience.

Ordered 2 x 10 packs. #3292. Thanks!!!

edit: Crap... Didn't see the coupon code. Oh well.

Shipments starting Monday pending qty 5000 2.1mm jacks coming in.  This weekend is a blitz.

I just wanted to let you know that not all high end PSUs run 16AWG PCIe cables, so just be careful.

I am in need of cables, Can you ship to UK?

ETA on shipment??

Thanks so much for your order!



Thanks for ordering, you will enjoy the quality of sturdy cables!

Ordered!!! Can't wait to get them.

Worked with KoSo on an order for my group buy..cant wait to get these!

Sorry for the double post,

But I wanted to thank everyone for the massive ammount of feedback and Pre-Orders. I do offer a bigger discount on large orders and we will sell all the supplied for you to make these yourself should you want.

Thanks a ton!

Thank so much for your Pre-Orders, You will love these cables and will see the quality right away.

If you want to get a look at some more of my work please visit my galleries on my custom cable pages:
http://lutro0-customs.com/products/custom-pet-plastic-type-extensions
http://lutro0-customs.com/products/custom-paracord-extensions

We will gladly sleeve these and any other cables you have for a custom price.

At checkout, if you have a hard time finding it just go ahead with the purchase and PM me and I will make sure it gets applied to your order. =)

where do you apply the coupon?

Just some more information, the PCI-E provided cables that come with PSUs are typically 16AWG.  They can "handle" around 600w, especially if your PSU is a single rail you can probably daisy chain $wattage / (7 * n-gridseeds).

A Silverstone ST1500 for example, could potentially power up 200 grid seeds .. if daisy chained correctly (although I think the amperage on the PCI-E is limited at some point).

We've thought through this, and the way we're doing it seems to be the most logical and the safest method.

They are 6pin Males to 3x 6pin Females,

The branches will have Male connectors to connect to the Females on the trunks, we set them up like this so nothing gets plugged in the wrong way.

I am using 16awg cable that can most handle anything a PSU can put out. When I do custom wiring for sleeved cables we use 18awg in allot of them and even that handles some of the beast LN2 overclocker cables.

What connections are those? 6 pin PCIE --> 3 (6pin PCIE)? What gauge wires are those? 300 watts per pcie cable? (6pin/8)...?

Ordered, will see how it works out. It's pricey, but doing it myself for the quantity that I need wouldn't cost much less and would be a waste of a good weekend if not more.

Order placed... woot 

Some new pics added to the OP.

These show the functionality of the cables. These are just single branches for show. The real branches will come in sets of 5, 10, and 15 DC Connectors.

I have updated the top of the first post with preorder links, coupon for first 50 customers, and shipping information.

You can pay with BTC or other methods at Lutro0's checkout.

To quickly recap pricing:

• Trunk - $15
• Branch 5 - $25
• Branch 10 - $35
• Branch 15 - $50

There will also be a few adapters for sale to connect your trunk to (8pin / 4pin EPS to 6pin PCI-E, 8pin PCI-E to 6pin PCI-E, 4pin molex to PCI-E)

Prices have been updated and Pre-Orders are now opened.

We will have more full photos coming up soon, but be rest assured these will be top quality cables that will last you. I also provide lifetime warranties on all of my cables so if they break we will replace them free of cost. This is how confident we are in our work as we have been a cabling provider for years now and never have we had to replace a broken cable.

Please visit http://lutro0-customs.com/products/gridseed-pci-e-modded-power-cables-pre-order for ordering or contact us on here.

Please feel free to continue posting questions, comments, or advice!

We will have some initial pics of the Trunk System up very soon.

Our goal is to make these fully modular using thick 16awg wire. I have been producing Custom Cabling for many corporations for years now, with that comes cabling for test products and massive stress testing - so these cable will be the result of that perfection, reliability, and performance.

Very interested as well. Look forward to seeing the pictures later

Hello everyone! I just wanted to drop in an acknowledge Kosovars post. Those that know me know my reputation and know my heart to provide the best cable solutions to the communities that need them. Our Facebook page and website are full of reviews if you choose to read them.

I also wanted to say that we are personally invested into this as I run a 35-40MHs Bank of 290s for Scrypt Coins. I have ran the Bank for a while now and would love to see this new way of mining flourish while also helping those that don't have the time or expertise in making cables.

Anyone may contact me through our website for questions and we will have much more information on its way.

What is the ETA on these?!?!  I need a bunch soon!

Interested.

Product Summary
I've teamed up with expert Modder & Cable Sleever Lutro0 Customs (http://lutro0-customs.com/, http://www.overclock.net/u/135653/lutro0, and http://www.facebook.com/lutro0customs) to create a few must-have products for the new wave of Gridseed ASICs coming. Let's be honest, the power supplies are crap, and the kit isn't really plug and play.  If you're getting a Gridseed unit, you get the actual unit, the USB cables, and buy your own hub. The rest is bloat because you either don't end up using it or you have a custom solution that better suits your needs (toss the controller, PSUs).

That's where Lutro0 Customs and I come in. We've come up with a concept for power cables that hook in to your existing PSUs (6 pin PCI-E required).

We have found a major design flaw with the so called Gridseed "Plug & Play" kits. The provided power supplies are cheaply made, smell bad, and possibly dangerous. You need to have some wire, electrical tape, and some DIY attitude to even get them hooked up.

That's where we come in - to provide you a real way to power up your Gridseed ASICs without having to possibly damage them. We do all the dirty work for your DC power adapters and even offer you a way to daisy chain them and hook up to 45 Gridseeds* (put * at bottom stating in scrypt mode only @ 7w max each) per PCI-E cable. We call it the Gridseed Power Trunk (GPT).

GPT is a modular system that will give you a trunked cable that can branch off in to - you guessed it, Gridseed Branch cables. There will be 3 versions of the branch cable - the 5, 10, and 15. In order to use the branch cables, you must have at lease one trunk cable. That trunk cable supports up to 3 branch cables of any type. We have created the GPT system to be easy to install and made to only connect one way so that you don't accidentally hook them up wrong.


Full Customization
Your cable can be as plain or as custom as you like. We offer Paracord and Teleios Sleeving in over 70 colors and even more combinations! We can even make them with colored wire if you like. The prices you see on the product page are for basic black cables and sleeved cables. But we will offer fully customized cables in different colors, length, and style or connectors that you would like. If you want to be be able to directly connect to your PSU all you need to do is contact us at [email protected].


Lifetime Warranty
Lutro0 Customs has been making custom power supply cable for years now. With countless PSU units and extensions being finished and showcased around the world you can buy with confidence knowing your cables are put together with expert experience.
This is why we are confident enough in our products to offer a lifetime warranty on all cables. If you accidentally break it or the cable breaks from use or wear then you ship the cable to us and pay for the return shipping and we will repair or make a new cable for you asap. We are the only custom cable sleever or cable maker that offers this kind of warranty. So buy with confidence knowing also that nobody has ever needed their cable repaired.


IMPORTANT NOTE:
All of these cables are meant for single mode scrypt, however they can be used any way you like as long as you use discretion and make sure you don't push your PSU and cables to far. The cables are made to be rugged and last a lifetime out of years of making cables no one has ever burnt one.
A PCI-E cable can typically handle up to 325w (that's pushing the limit, so 5 Gridseeds in dual mode will be your limit).  At 325w limit, we're estimating 7w per unit and you can hook up 45 units per Trunk when maximizing the connector options.  Theoretically if you have a Silverstone ST1500 (comes with 4 PCI-E connectors), you can get 180 gridseeds hooked up with 4 trunks and 12 x Branch 15s. This scenario will consume about 1260w.


Products


Trunk

• The trunk will have a 6pin male PCI-E connector that hooks up to your existing PSU. (note: you must have a 6pin PCI-E connector.)
• It will branch off in to 3 12" "trunks" that feature a 6pin female PCI-E connector. (note: This is set up so there is no confusion on how to plug them in.)
• These will be customizable in terms of length, just let us know and we can work something out. (note: For custom lengths please make your order and then contact us at [email protected].)

Gridseed Branch 5

• Male PCI-E connector that requires a Trunk
• 5 total DC adapters, capable of powering 5 gridseed units
