Strange thing happening with cable

Sorry if this is not the correct place to post.

I have a 19' cable that I just repaired. Puzzled by this!

Going straight from tele into amp. From zero to full with the volume knob, it is relatively even in the sweep until the very last 1/10th, where it makes a huge jump in volume. It reminds me if a pot that has a bad spot.

This does not happen with any of my other cables, but I don't understand why.

Would this be a capacitance issue, a bad wiring job on my part, a weaker shield? I'm really curious what causes this and if anyone can explain why.

Thanks!

Well, check it off to something I did.

I re-wired with a different Neutrik plug,, problem is gone. Probably the braided shield was broken off near the neoprene or shorting. Who knows.

Glad you found it!
