Cable Sleeving Guide

[rioja]

i did cut off sleeve from pump wires, laing uses 22awg for the pump wires.
so question is it possible to use fan connectors on 22awg?

and second doubt i have, i plan to use standard fan extension cable for pumps, will it be safe to use 26awg as extension for pumps at 18watt?

[jadeskye]

does anyone have a good method for getting pins out of the fan connectors? i'm tearing my fingers to shreds here!

I used i staple for them at first, then a small precision screw driver (5$ at local depot)

Hi all,

I am currently building my new system and am going to sleeve everything (MDPC obviously ) but I have to use this sort of SAS cables:


are there any separate data/power cables I can use or pass through connectors like there are for SATA power cables? I think it will look butt ugly using molex connectors for my 4 sas drives.

Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks

Hate to be a hijacker here, but could you suggest me a sleeved cable of this type -> http://www.frozencpu.com/products/56...ter_Cable.html ?

I found this -> http://www.frozencpu.com/products/87...ter_Cable.html , that looks pretty smart, but I'd eat my own spleen before I pay that much for a cable

[hyperion007]

Never mind my previous post.

I will be using two 4 in 1 backplanes for 2,5" SAS. They only use one molex connector for power and 4 regular SATA cables.

Amazing work.
I love the Red black and white theme.... Ottawa Senators (NHL) colors
If i may ask, how did you make the power mid-plate? Its ingenious, and would love to "borrow" that idea for my potential TJ07 Build

Thank your ONCE again Martin for the awesome work you do ! They are going to look great in my SLI setup :P

[Zeus]

Martin, you have taken this sleeving thing to a whole new level! The length of the heatshrink, the stretch, the length of the sleeve, all perfect!

I really would love to see a sleeved molex or sata powercable from you.

[Xien16]

Thanks Martin

Nice..

What can we use to get a precise cut of those heatshrinks?

What can we use to hold the sleeves in place while shrinking those heat shrinks?

My heatshrinks always ends up curved at the edge when using my apparently quite sharp scissors

[Xien16]

Scissors...

Fingers...

You have to old the scissors in a 90° angle to the sleeve...
Sometimes I also get a curved cut - but only on ~ 10% of the shrinks.

Xien16,

Do you happen to have a worklog for this build ? I didn't find it here

got any razor blades? I'm sure they'd work fine, something out of a Stanley knife maybe

Sorry - but not in this forum

[Martin S]

Enjoy them Aedubber!

Zeus: Thanks Janik (Xien16) and Ferhan (fhantastic) are inspiration

Janik - I'm sure I've said this before, but your work is absolute perfection as always

[hammerjack]

omg Martin,ur sleeve looks like machine product,especialy 24pin,u got my full respect

[kwscore]

machine product

call hands hehe

as usual awesome work Martin

[Vhaara]

Quick question, how would i go about sleeving the Sata and Molex connectors on this power supply? Would i have to pull apart the wires and then do so? Also, how hard would it be to do this?

And quick off topic question, is that a good power supply?

And absolutely fantastic job on all the sleeving guys! A real inspiration to start it myself!

[The Duke]

Ok after seeing all the wiring ... I had a question on prices ...

How much would it cost me to sleeve and Antec 1200 with a 2 colored theme - 1 color for sure black-

[Martin S]

Thanks all

kwscore: You got it!
