Chrome & Black LEMO® Premium Handcrafted Cables
ABOUT UNICORN CABLES
Handcrafted premium artisan cables from Slovenia, Europe. We aim for perfection and excellence. All our cables are made by hand in Slovenia and not mass-produced in China. To maintain the premium look of the cables, we use the most high quality materials such as original LEMO® detachable connectors, Techflex FLEXO PET and much more. All cables are thoroughly tested and made to last the longevity of your setup.
For those of you who don't want your spouse/partner to know about the price of your hobbies, I added a feature to get a letter in your package, in the form of “Congratulations on winning this item” :)

The LEMO connectors I can see on your product page all have 4 pins, but every LEMO cable I've seen elsewhere has had 5. Can you clarify please that these are genuine?

LEMO has many contacts configurations on their site for this type of connector (the B series I believe):

Ah, my bad. Sorry if I was curt, just haven't seen this kind of LEMO used in a cable GB before

So the LEMO® connectors we are using are Male - FGG.1B.304.CLAD62 (https://www.lemo.com/pdf/FGG.1B.304.CLAD62.pdf) and Female - PHG.1B.304.CLLD62 (https://www.lemo.com/pdf/PHG.1B.304.CLLD62.pdf). They have 4-pins because the 5th pin is unnecessary for keyboards, and we chose to go with 4-pin format. These connectors are genuine, directly from the manufacturer, and we can provide more information/evidence if you need.

Almost all standard/chrome LEMO® cables were shipped today, and by now you should have received tracking numbers on your emails :). There are just a few more orders left that will be shipped out hopefully by the end of this week.
PS: Would love to see some images of your setups with the cable in my Discord (https://discord.gg/D24SFgt45b) :p

Last 48 hours! Thanks for all the support so far.

Mr. Unicorn is there any possibility of mini-usb "Detachable Cable Ends" ?
Edit:
I see that you can select mini usb on the main cable and make the detachable cable usb-c.

There is an option for USB Mini-B, either nickel or gold plated, under Device Connector - Detachable Cable Ends (https://unicorncables.com/store/lemo-detachable-cable-ends). Hopefully I answered your question.

Last 24 hours to join, then the GB closes!

All chrome LEMO® cables have been shipped earlier last week and you can expect your package to be delivered soon (if it didn't already), in case you didn't receive a tracking number on your email, contact us.
ETA for black LEMO®️ is known, 18th March, meaning estimated shipping date has now been moved up to late March, early April.
-
All black LEMO® cables have been shipped, with an exception of a few orders from Russia (customers were notified and the cables will ship once the shipping to Russia is once again resumed).
Thank you everyone who participated in the group buy!
You missed the GB?
No worries, a new GB will be opened sometime next week with a much shorter lead time this time. If you wish to be notified, please join our Discord (https://discord.gg/D24SFgt45b) and wait for the announcement.
