Cable Sleeving Guide

The last time I tried to sleeve something the hardest part was getting the damn wire through the sleeve. Probably took half an hour to get the fan wires through the sleeve and in the end the sleeve looked too loose. Any tips there?

Use a compress and pinch method. Hold the wire and braid (wire inside the braid a bit, you can hold multiple cables) with your left hand (can do the same method with your right hand etc), with your right hand pinch some braid further up where you want the wire to go. Move your right hand to the left until you can grab some fan pins or cables and try and pinch them too. The braid is now expanded in diameter and when you let go with your left hand it will slide further down your wire. Repeat until the pins are through the other end.

if i understand you correctly,is the end of the wire catching on the sleeving?
i had the same problems,and wrapped a small piece of masking tape on the end,and all was good!!

Thanks but not quite. It was like there was no way to apply force so the wires would get through. They'd just crumple up in the middle area. The sleeve seemed too tight but in the end the look seemed too loose.
