Modifying power and data cbles offers a range of interesting possibilities for improving the aesthetic of a PC while customising it to meet your personal requirements. Sleeving allows cables to either be braided for additional protection, alternatively you can even install sleeving as a replacement for the original sleeve. The wide variety of colour variations and UV-reactive coating allow cables to become a centrepiece of the PC.
MDPC-X sleeving has been manufactured so as to make the humble cable into a desirable designer object, creating a look that is completely unique. MDPC-X is known to give cables the optimum strength and stability by removing any small waves from the cable. The snug fit allows for absolutely even and fluid curve radii or straight lines - without the need to resort to accessories that would force them into line and detract from the overall look.
How Does Sleeving Work and What Do You Need?
The following steps take place: Firstly the cables' connectors are removed, this step requires the use of a specialised tool. If that is available the next step will be to remove the sleeve coating and shorten the cable where necessary. Having adjusted the length of the sleeve and wrapped it around the cable, short pieces of heat-shrink should subsequently be affixed over each end and the connector reattached. Heating allows the shrink wrap to seal the gap and prevent fraying of the cable sleeve.
In order to be sure of exactly how much sleeving material is required for your personal project, the rule of thumb can generally be summarised as follows: Amount of cables multiplied by the length of cable + 20%. It is particularly important to know that the sleeve length relates to its stretched state under minimal pressure. When discussing larger diameters the increasing tension that goes with such sleeves, the total length decreases. Thus when referring to the stretchiest/largest diameter sleeves are used, close to 200% sleeve lengths are required in order to adequately cover the wire.
At this point we must expressly inform you that such modifications are performed at your own risk, that they will lead to the invalidation of the guarantee on your power supply, and that we accept no liability for costs arising from said modifications.MDPC-X Sleeve Small Provides the Perfect No-Compromises Sleeving
This product is a 1 meter length sleeve manufactured with premium PET-X threads. In comparison to other sleeving, such as nylon based materials, PET-X is water- and stain resistant and retains its colouring under long-term UV exposure. Furthermore PET-X does not combust in so sudden a manner as do nylon-based materials. As such the sleeving can be used under even the most extreme conditions ranging from -58°C to + 155°C.
The diameter of the MDPC-X cable sleeving is highly variable, it can be stretched and compressed, thereby permitting its usage in a great variety of possible applications. The Small Sleeves can therefore be stretched from ~ 5 mm to ~ 14,5 mm and offer an impressive fluorescent white unter UV light, MDPC-X has called this "White UV", and stylish platinum-grey ("Carbon"). Taking together this style offers an impressive centrepiece of glowing threads in the dark centre of your PC.
