Grey snaic compared to grey interconnect- photo available?

[MKL1]

Are there photos comparing the grey snaics to grey interconnects? Comparing my black 4 pin to 5 pin snaic the grey model I have with a spare Nap 150 is thinner. Neither has Snaic embossed but has the NA # on the cable.

Thanks in advance.

How to identify SNAICs and Interconnects

Standard Naim Interconnects. Interconnects carry only audio signals. Naim usually include a standard grey Interconnect in the box with sources. It is no after-thought, but rather a great sounding high performance cable that complements Naim equipment perfectly. [Naim 5-5 Interconnect1|600x434] Pictured above - standard Naim interconnect. Grey or grey with a slight lavender tinge outer sheath, DIN5 (180) at both ends, green direction band. Used for connecting signal from sources such as a N…

A NAP150 would have a SNAIC5 (black). A grey 4-5 lead would most likely be a 4-5 Interconnect, either the early (slightly thinner) grey our later lavender/grey. There is though a rarity, which is a 5-4 SNAIC (for connecting a Dual rail PSU to a single rail pre-amp), but so uncommon that I don’t think I have ever come across one. There’s also a black 5-4 lead for the n-Vi, again, a rare one.

Thanks Richard for clarification. Were the only grey snaics the old non-locking type? I have had several Naps over the years and am unsure if the cables were from older Nap 140s with 5 pin din. They are both thinner than my black 5-4 snaic.

thanks

The grey SNAICs were first latching (Deltron type) then ring locking (Preh type).

A NAP140 would come with a grey SNAIC 4.

Richard many thanks!
