Installation

The most difficult part of adding cable sleeving is of course making sure you have the correct length for the cables you are trying to cover, and removing the molex connectors if you are doing a power supply or powered unit, things like audio cables or the motherboard connector on your motherboard are of course some of the easiest ones to do.



If you plan on doing cables such as power supply, you will need a molex depinning tool. The guys over at pccasegear.com sell them for around $6.50 each, sure is easier then trying to use a piece of wire to remove the pins.



A hairdryer can be used to fit the heatshrink properly around the cable and clip



There's everything in a neat little package. Let me tell you, with a total of 30 feet of cable sleeving, this is more then enough for an entire PSU, with enough left over for fans and anything else you could think of. The cable comes in 4 different sizes, and the heatshrink in 3. This ensures the best fit for the different bundles of cables inside your case.

Features

- Protect your cables and wires
- Reduce mess and clutter inside your case
- Improve airflow while reducing heat.



Conclusion

I think Vantec have done a great job in producing a kit that has enough cable to do your whole system in one great package. The inclusion of additional items such as cable ties and even the heatshrink wrap makes it a package well constructed and of good value for the case modders.

Pros

• Affordable
