What size braiding?

MouthBoy · 8 Nov 2010 at 17:12

Hey dudes,

I bought some NZXT cables the other day and I am really impressed, but they dont seem to do all the cables I am after getting braided. I thought I would give it a shot myself but I am unsure on what sizes of braiding to purchase. I believe I read that a SATA cable is 9mm braiding and the IO cables can be as small as 3mm, but I am kind of guessing.

Does anyone know what sizes are best for what? Maybe list them like:

3mm is good for...
6mm is good for...
9mm is good for...

Just so its easy to understand and so I can purchase the right amount for what I want. Also, and this is not a dig at OcUK, but OcUK dont seem to stock pure white braiding so can someone please message me in trust about where is best to purchase braiding materials? Obviously if that is not allowed or against rules dont.

I am after doing my IO cables, a few fan cables, SATA cables and maybe a few power cables.

Thanks

You might want to edit that post. Forum rules do not permit linking to sites of competitors to OCUK for obvious reasons

Also they do not make the best braid

The most expensive = Yes
The best = No

Pretty sure it's just Techflex that he uses, get 20ft of it sent from the U.S. really cheaply from the bay.

Also NZXT do braided front panel connectors and sata cables.

Oh...I saw them on their website, but I thought I read that the SATA and the IO was only in black and not white... are you able to email me a link to where you found them?

EDIT: Dont worry, found a source. Thanks!
