Custom Cable Building

Finally a detailed guide on how to build custom cables. This is part 3 of an ongoing custom cable guide I am doing. In the first two parts I covered tools and materials and how to measure your cable lengths. With the three parts of the guide you have all of the information you need to build custom length, sleeved cables for your build. There is more coming.
I suggest you watch at 1080p so that you can see the smaller details.

Those crimpers are called "open barrel" crimpers. The way I was taught to use the crimper was to put the pin into the crimper, take a bite, put the wire in, then crimp. When cutting metallic sleeving...Harbor freight has some really cheap looking scissors that looks like they were hammered out of a piece of clothes hangar...that are actually carbon steel, really sharp, and work really well. When putting small pieces of heat shrink on the ends, put them on in the middle before your insert the wire, then move into position when you are ready to flame them. This saves the problem of trying to put a small piece of heat shrink on a nearly same size cable. I haven't done many computer cables, but I"ve done a LOT of military cables.

[@RoTeNdO]

Ugh... I come across this just days after I've finished crimping my wires for my project. A project that I've put off due to procrastinating and because this isn't as easy as it looks. I've seen Jayz, Kyle's, and others videos, but this video... this is perfect! I did an okay job, but the explanation and the tip of using the needle pliers to clasp the end wings to the plaster to keep the crimp from moving is genius and outstanding! I'm kicking myself for not seeing this sooner. The crimping part was the hardest for me because it kept sliding off or moving. Now I know for future projects. Thanks!

[@B3L13V3R]

Incredibly thorough teacher. Daniel is a legend in the making.

[@ntonZZ]

One of the most useful video ever put on the internet, thanks a lot.

[@Otawakun]

I wish i had my internship in Singularity Computers and you are my supervisor. MAN that would be so great!!!!!

[@The804R]

Perfect timing; I'm about to start my first sleeving project!

[@GLFiveGaming]

Here’s a top tip from me. Use clear shrink tube when you’re melting the sleeving to the pin. Then you can see when it’s melted and you won’t over do it.

[@Blueberries404]

I want to see more of this style of videos. These are great!

[@mccafferty999]

I sleeved my 24 pin and 2 pcie cables for about 10 dollars. I just bought standard cable extensions on ebay, figured out how to remove the cables and then sleeved them in 3 colours using sleeving i also got off ebay. It takes a fair bit of work when you're not used to it but I still got great looking custom sleeved cables for dirt cheap :D It works out much cheaper than buying wire/pins/connectors separately.

[@iaial0]

I'm super positive one day I'll sit here and do all my custom cables, and maybe it will be the same day I'll put a custom loop on my machine. And I'm sure as hell I'll use a lot of your suggestions. Thank you.

[@BIGC-jn3qm]

Brilliant Video - you make it look so easy, I now must give this a go - Thank you.

[@raynabanaki8434]

Brilliant video man, very informative. Once i find the time to get back into modding i'll have to start doing HSless cables, that method looks very strong.

[@zyntax81]

Great video as usual! I would like some more in depth guide on how to calculate lenghts when doing 90 (180, 270 etc) degree turns. For exemple an ATX cable could turn 90 degrees several times around the chassi. And also outgoing cables from a connector needs to come into next connector rotated. It would be nice to see a complete video where you do a complete ATX cable with lots of bends and you go through your measure and calculation.

[@ProDMiner]

I just wanted to say thank you for showing us the methods you use. I’m about to build a monster rig, and I was like well if I get modular may as well make my own cable lol

[@jdsgotninelives]

This is the one I have been waiting for :)

[@mdk42o74]

building my dream computer and when i was looking at my build the only thing i could think of was god i need custom wires. thank you so much

[@That_Dude88]

Found your video searching for custom psu cables. Thank you for the vid!

[@alanrobertsonmusic]

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it!

[@shaynerism]

Thanks a bunch! Your videos are the best....

[@grantspants3925]

Very thorough, Thank you.

[@RobertD_83]

I sleeved 1 power supply... cablemod ever since. such tedious work. your dedication definitely shows in your builds though..

[@Vladek16]

awesome tuturial :D

[@killacamfoo]

Wow, this takes some serious skill. This is why I buy them separately.

[@taipeitaiwan10]

I have no interest in doing this, but you are a good teacher and make it fun watching :)

[@UncommonNL]

Very nice and informative m8, really appreciate it. For your next part i'd like to see how you make custom lenght fan cables (longer then the original) with appropriate sleeving. Keep up the fantastic work, i'm learning a ton for my personal upcoming build.

[@cataria3903]

wasn't he showing in one of the last videos, that he sleeves and customizes the fan cables to the same length all and then uses sleeved exact extension cables? at least that was the case for the radiator fans he showed. regardless would be good to show either way.

[@ModrunOfficial]

wait you said you alredy went throught 2 parts videos on this ? how do i find them then because this isnt a numbered video series afaik

[@michaelsotomayor5001]

Thank you so much for these videos :)

[@xt3100]

very interesting. I would love to do this myself in the future.

[@sasrebel]

love the background noise. Sounds like my place. Just kids running a muck. lol Good video by the way mate! Nice quality work. :)

[@fintekonivel]

Always quality videos! keep it up. BTW would you recommend to test the cable with voltage meter when you re-pin the cable?

[@JamieClysdale]

great tutorial, many thanks. do you have a solution for custom-sleeving things like usb calbes or other difficult, atypical cables?

[@Rave_game9310]

defiantly need to try my hand in this. have had cables fail when you have custom bios with lots xtra load on those power cables especially 6 pins can fail/get hot. could you make larger conductor cables?

[@MinerCrypto]

Perfect cable. tnks

[@arielsalce7466]

Ok, I'm going to watch this video now. Let me "like" it first since I know it's going to be good.

[@BaSeBaLLnUgS419]

If you buy a pre made custom sleeved extension kit can I remove the connector to install metal cable combs or roll it damage the wire ends?

[@CrossedSabresCOD]

This was much more helpful than the original Lutro Customs video from Nvidia, and the rehash of that method by Bitwit. I ordered some pre-sleeved wires from MainFrame Customs, and it appears they've changed up their method from when they were Lutro. Now they crimp the sleeve in with the first crimped wings.

[@mbastos71]

Thank you very much, sir.

[@darxustech2883]

I wish people could link to the previous parts of a video series in the video description.

[@nickburak7518]

Thank you!

[@Ekksanpher]

Could you do a guide on how to sleeve pump cables please (4pin +molex into a pump)? There may already be a guide but couldn't find it. Awesome guide btw!

[@peterkoinzell7983]

10:51 I have that same crimper. How do you get it so that it release when you let go? Mine locks down and I have to lift a switch in between the handles for it to let go.

[@Seffyr]

How convenient? I spot this video in my KZbin feed as I'm sitting here sleeving a friend's PSU. A few of my methods differ from yours because it's what I find quickest/most comfortable with; but I'll definitely be using your "master length cable" method to ensure my cable cuts are all the same length. My first sleeving job (My own rig) has required me to redo it twice now due to sloppy worksmanship the first and second time. The third time I cleaned it up alot (I cut the cables to individual lengths so that they would naturally curve, helping them stay trained) but stuffed up a measurement on a SINGLE wire on the 24-pin so I gotta dive into that at some point in the near future and clean that up cause my OCD is tainting me about it... that means shortening 23 wires because 1 is shorter... *sigh*

[@farfadetglouglou5111]

Good morning, I have just discovered your videos and I am planning to customize my PC cables and I am wondering if I could replace the PVC cables with silicone ones to have more flexibility while staying on 18 awg?

[@xyhbhtt]

Is there a way to make longer SLI cables? I'm planning a built with graphicscards next to each other instead of the usual stacked mounting.

[@jairhernandez7652]

what about the 20k build??? i'm really looking foward for it

[@starcatify]

Nice guide! Do you by chance where I can get the PSU-side connectors for an EVGA Supernova as I want to build some cables for my PSUs? Thanks!

[@rickymcc9072]

Thanks. Very helpful. Now I need to buy some parts and start practicing. What diameter braided sleeve do you recommend? I was thinking of trying/using 3mm?

[@jleslie246]

how do you know what length to cut wires with 90/180 (left, right, up/down) bends? Every bend changes the length of the wire as outside radius needs to be longer than inside radius, etc. Do you measure for each individual wire?

[@stylianos9814]

in the case where i cant crimp the connections, can i connect them using soldering???

[@toimisjo]

You should buy pliers that they use in surgery(i don't know what they are called in english). You can use them to lock the sleeve very tight when melting the heat shrink to the connector. They also leave your both hands free. Tried and very, very useful.

[@bushwickbillOG]

heamostats

[@SmoothTiger]

Would it be possible to remove the head (housing) where the cable goes in once it's plugged in? I'm asking because I would like to swap one for a different color (black to white).

[@SOU6900]

Like the color of that case.

[@ManpackedPOV]

is the pin layout really matter ? since if you just put the cables in the same place on both pcie connectors you'll be fine right ? i do not need to know every function of every cable going in the pcie connector do i ? unless i gor from 8 pin to 6 pin ofcourse

[@ahmedal-shafei3640]

Hi thank you for video. I would like to ask how to convert the cpu cable from 8pin to 8+4pin 2 way

[@MrZombie999]

anyone know where to get the pinout for a EVGA 1000GQ (overclockers dont have one)

[@gengpan]

May I ask , is there a limitation on the number of molex ports (in the case all of them will be used) that I can have in one cable?

[@LegendMuscle]

Hey I want to sleeve my own cables. that's not theproblem. The problem is.. the cables dont like up to their corresponding pin at the other end... Can I switch the ??? Like instead of pin 1 going to pin 3 on a gpu plug can I do 1 to 1? Or is there other communication for the psu?

[@pablocom4]

Hello. Some size of AWG will be the best for modifying cables to the power supply.

[@honitsten]

@ 14:03 I had to take my open headphones off and make sure that wasn't happening in the other room. Other than that excellent video. I always wanted to do something like this with my own builds.

[@sokan88]

I have a pretty good understanding on how to properly make custom cables, but I am still new to this whole process. The one thing that is very confusing for me is the pin-outs and how they work. Can you make a video going a little more in-depth on this process? I viewed some pin-outs from the repository and it's like reading a foreign language.

[@evanhill110]

I'm new to the world of custom sleeving, what size sleeving and heatshrink do you use for 16 gauge cable?

[@angelvaca9232]

what type of cable or where can i buy the pcie cable ? 18awg ul1007 6p parallel flat cable black/yellow

[@user-os3zf7nm1e]

Hello, I would like to ask what type of electronic cable you are using, ul1007 16awg? ul1015 16awg?

[@Khrizsrage]

Awesome!! thanks m8!

[@jerodernst6706]

only ? that i wonder about, is it better to use a muti stand wire or use a high single core wire

[@deangrillas5938]

Gday mate just discovered your channel and my god I am impressed. I have one question for ya. If I'm doing custom sleeving from scratch can i use the connectors from my corsair hx1000i?

[@emanuelkszenics7689]

nice trick with the sleeve and heatshrink tube, that shit drove me crazy when i did mine few years back...i've reused the old wires, so my question is, what size of wire do you use for atx/molex cable? and what size of sleeve, if i remamber i've used 3mm, i would like to build a new pair of cables and it would be handy to know thank you

[@bert4910]

Also.. Please demonstrate how you sleeve fans and what crimpers you use for the pins etc.

[@whererv1507]

Do they make a custom kit with tools connectors etc. You can order?

[@mikeb8635]

Can someone please tell me how to find out your pinouts on your power supply. I can't find anything anywhere. Like how do i know which wires go where ? Ive seen some diagrams on pinouts for my corsair Power Supply but i have no idea how you are suppose to read them and how you know what plugs into where. Please if someone could find a step by step guide that would be great and much appreciated. Thanks

[@orestesdd]

Where can I buy the crimps, some of the other tools, and supplies? Note that some of your links in the description section do NOT work. Thank you for your video.

[@michaelsmith1675]

would love to see this done with flat cable wire made custom

[@4fidy182]

can anyone give me alink where to buy the connectors for the 24 pin pciu cable ext . having a hard time finding them

[@spawn666reaper]

maybe I missed it, but what kind of cable to I need? how thick, how thick does the core need to be?

[@J_A-_]

Can you make 6 to 2 × 6+2 pin with 16 AWG wires? Or will the connection not be good?

[@verum_consilium]

Recently I custom cabled a corsair rm1000i and noticed that some cables had capacitors between them on the original oem cables. I ended up adding them into my cables but wanted to know your thoughts on their importance (not to mention they take up a bunch of room on the cable)

[@carlsson614]

ZLS Designs You should be able to remove them. But verify the pinouts before removing the caps.

[@erichardouin]

Awesome your video Can we make wiring for any model of power supplie Antec edge 650w +80 gold

[@MitgliedT5]

What type of wiring should be used ? you don't use copper wire in this video or ist it and it doesn't look like the typical copper ?

[@drekoll]

OMG I love the case paint color, is beautiful! What is the name/brand of that paint?

[@FrodeLtvedt]

I wish somebody would put together a kit with all you need for this. I feel like I'm going crazy trying to figure out what i might need.

[@sloppyprogrammer4373]

it was actually the fun part.

[@MarcAntoine01]

Can someone drop a link for the lighter?

[@BillStelling]

thanks..

[@spawn666reaper]

Fallowing along. Doing this for the first time. Just wondering how to do a sata power push-though connector. (www.dazmode.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/SATA-CONNECTOR-_3.jpg) Would you make a shrink before and after the connector, or would you do one bigger piece and just push the connector thought the shrink tube and the outlining of the cable?

[@chardanelabiste4576]

What is the size of the sleeve? 4mm or 6mm?

[@jKazej]

Where do you get the power supply side connectors? I mostly mean for like 18pin and 10pin connectors they use on the PSU side of an 24-pin ATX.

[@SingularityComputers]

You can find them on my store.

[@OneCosmic749]

What is bad about crimpers from any hardware store? Are they different in anything? What wire Gauge are you using for power cables, 18 or 16 AWG?

[@xfist2facex]

You can use 18 or 16 awg, some connector pins have larger "wings" to help crimp around 16 awg though. I get my gear from Mainframe Customs, even shipping to Australia is reasonable. Then buy paracord locally. You'll be hard pressed putting paracord 550 on 16 awg though. You can use generic cripmers for the correct pins. The blue handled ones he's using are easy enough to get on amazon or ebay if you look around. I have one that looks the same and it says it's for 0.14-1.5mm2

[@crocellian2972]

Great stuff. Fume extractor. I hope the reason you dropped the series wasn't health.

[@AutodidactEngineer]

What's the name of the crimp tool?

[@shmittty89]

Cool

[@razuraj]

Q and A: How do you polish ek GPU backplate to a mirror finish? Is there a way to remove the cnc marks from it?

[@razuraj]

TheD†uned no not the bottom side but the top side that you do see.

[@SingularityComputers]

You cant because its under the plating. You have to take the plating off and polish the alloy.

[@FalconBeatbox]

Where do you get your spool of wires from? I'm looking for 16AWG

[@kinnhem]

i got mine at home depot if u are in the usa. otherwise i think amazon will have them for sure

[@bert4910]

I wouldn't mind seeing your routing (after sleeving) from fans to Aquaero to motherboard and lighting routing etc.

[@Mre942]

The pistolcablestriper tool should have V-shaped knives , some has flat knives and those work very poorly especially if you don't strip so much isolation. :)

[@drwal_fosforyczny]

Hi is there a way to order set of custom PC power cables from you ?

[@SingularityComputers]

Hey. Yes contact us at [e-mail] and we will set it up for you. Thanks.

[@ne0tas]

wait this looks easy af wtf, i do this stuff at work all the time.. gives me an idea.. lol

[@michalroesler]

What's the name of this case?

[@djscottdog1]

Im good at that sort of thing

[@ramzinho4985]

Daniel where are you based now?

[@kaeptenxy3569]

hey you maybe should consider getting an electronic crimper so you have two hands free and don't have to bend the pin in place first so its a loot faster and easier

[@RobPollen]

I used custom colour connectors In UV yellow/green ... really pings ps your other to cable mods videos really helped me
