Where do y'all get custom sleeving?

Posted by rceckspurt13@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 4 comments

I'm planning my next build, and I'm interested in trying my hand at making my own sleeved cables, and sleeved soft tubing for water cooling. I've been looking for somewhere to buy sleeving, but I'm kinda stuck. The obvious choice is MDPC-X, but since they're based out of Germany, and I'm in the US, the 25% tariff makes the prices pretty outrageous pretty quickly. I also found MainFrame Customs, which is based In the US, and they have some good selection for cables, but nothing large enough to use on water cooling tubing. Is there anywhere else I should check out?

You stop looking at nerd shit and start looking at industrial/electrical stuff.
you lose out on crazy patterns but core colors are still around, and it's also way cheaper lol.

customcableusa is reliable, when I was pumping out USB cables for keyboards I was buying from them. other term you should be searching for is "cable loom".

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check them out. I actually started looking at industrial suppliers, but just wasn't finding what I was looking for.

yeah, it's the way to go if you don't give a shit about patterns, just colors. try searching "cable loom" and "wiring harness sleeves" as well. I imagine that you need like, 12+mm plus for soft tubing for your loop, and cable loom/wiring harnesses are a whole bunch of smaller cables, so should be in sizes you need.

I think you want /r/CustomCables .

But anyway -- I don't think you need super special sleeving. If you like the paracord style of sleeving, you can literally just buy from paracord stores.
