<\/a>Cable sleeving<\/p><\/div>\n
How sleeving works<\/h3>\n
Before you\u2019re able to start sleeving cables, you\u2019ll need to remove the power connectors. There are various connector types, and for each type there are various techniques one can apply. A great guide on how to remove connectors so that you\u2019re able to sleeve can be found over at the XtremeSystems forums<\/a>, though be warned, it\u2019s far more difficult than it looks in the beginning.<\/p>\n There are two parts to cable sleeving, the sleeve itself, and the heat shrink that holds the sleeving in place. Installing the sleeving once you\u2019ve removed power connectors is a relatively simple process. Slide the sleeving along the cable until it\u2019s in place, then slide across two pre-cut lengths of heat shrink over the cable sleeving to either end of the length of sleeve.<\/p>\n Heat shrink does exactly what its name says; it shrinks when you apply heat to it. With the heat shrink half covering the end of the sleeving, and half covering the cable beneath the sleeving, applying heat cases the heat shrink to grip the end of the sleeve, holding it in place to prevent it sliding along the cable beneath it. The heat shrink also prevents the ends of the sleeving from fraying which will eventually cause the weave of the sleeve to come undone.<\/p>\n Once the sleeving is on the cable and the heat shrink is holding each side of the sleeve, simply replace the connectors and you\u2019ve got an original, unique power cable configuration that blends in with the rest of your gaming setup.<\/p>\n 5 gaming hardware extravagances<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 5 Modern case mods<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Monitor features: how they benefit gamers<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n 4 gaming gadgets that didn\u2019t make the grade<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nRelated Articles<\/h3>\n
