I suggest a trip to R S, buy the connectors and make your own. Although our R S is 20 miles each way, at least I know what I have and it is exactly as I need. And while at R S, buy several male and female connectors of different configurations.
I also suggest making your own, but NOT with Radio Shack connectors. The good stuff is made by Switchcraft and Neutrik, and can be bought from vendors like Full Compass (Madison, WI) and Sweetwater (Ft Wayne, In). You can find part numbers on one of the later slides in my Power, Grounding, and Audio tutorial. k9yc.com/publish.htm
One of the tricky parts of making Y-cables is finding cable that's small enough to fit into connectors, yet rugged enough to withstand flexing, and connectors into which the cables can be fit. Switchcraft have the greatest diameter for cable entry and the most space inside the connector shell.
