sleeving SATA data cables

[DisrupTer911]

Some guys I see sleeve their SATA data cables but I'm leary about dismantling the connectors to get teh sleeve and heatshrink over them...

Are you guys buying or just somehow stretching the materials?

I don't believe anyone takes apart SATA cables. Just use larger heatshrink. Sleeving stretches of course, so you don't have to worry about it as much.

The sleeve expands plenty big to get the sata connector through. And the heatshrink
fits fine too. Nils over at MDPC-X will always treat you right. He's in Germany but ships
quick. I usually get my stuff in 7-10 days.

Nobody takes the cable apart. As, was said, you slip the sleeve and heat shrink over the connector. Using a pair of scissors helps.
