Can I use this to braid cables

Hi there,

I want to do a single cable braid of all cables in my case. Needless to saying, that is a lot of braiding, I was wondering if it would be possible to using this kinda of material NYLON BRAID for the braiding?

I think that braid is a softer material than is normally used on braided cables. It will not reflect light in the same way as it looks to be a fine weave rather than a stranded weave that you get on cables.

It's possible but not what everyone else seems to use.

I would avoid the bay if I were you. I have braided my 24 pin mobo cable, 8 pin CPU and two 6 pin PCIe cables with braid I bought from there and if I am honest I regret not spending a few extra pounds to go for some higher quality stuff because you can see through the braid under normal light. Luckily for me you can't see through the braid under cathodes but I strongly recommend you go for some higher quality stuff.

That braid will not expand as much as normal braid which will make braiding cables a nightmare. Stay clear of it.
