guys, what if we sleeve then use cable tie at the end, does this work fine insted using those heatshrink???

itll work but itll look like shit coz the sleeves will fray. thats why its recommended to use heatshrinks to give that much cleaner and neater look.

but what i did was i use cable tie and put heatshrink OVER the cable tie. i used the cable tie to make sure the sleeves and shrink doesnt move around.

what if i burn the tip of sleeve a bit, will it fray too? i want to use the cable tie on those PATA 2 SATA Converter, one of the power cable end connects to the PATA Header can't use heatshrink to cover it up

Cool design. However, don't you think the orange rig's wires are a little messy?

oh the orange rig saja sampingan ni la...juz happen to b in that picture ni
lol

use hairdryer lar bro..it will perform a better result and nothing will be burnt..

Actually candle is the best method i tried so far ... hair dryer only work on vantec heatshrink.... jalan pasar heatshrink i use candle as u could do it slowly..

anyway everyone has their own preference way in getting the same thing done....

i dunno wat is the result for using hairdryer on vantec heatshrink..
but so far i did use it for heatshrink brought from niclasteoh,and it ended up perfectly shrinked.

can u please tell me how to use the heatshrink on the end that connects to the PATA Header

the other day when i asked maybe u guys haven't got the clear picture of what i'm talking bout maybe by this pic, it could help

so please tell me ur idea how of heatshrinking it? wanna me to heatshrink the PATA header also

that's a pata to sata connector ???

first time seen such cable... in addition its product of Gigabyte some more ...

why there is molex connector also ???

yup, those are PATA to SATA Connector & it is Gigabyte product, well actually it is a OEM Product from Gigabyte, that's why u can't find this selling at shops

the converter got 2 molex connector:
1. Male Molex = connect to PSU
2. Female Molex = connect to HDD or ODD (which i'm currently using it on = no more fat ide cable )

now back to topic, already use this almost 1 year, got bored & decided to sleeve the power connector, having trouble to heatshrink the power that one end connected to the PATA Header, any ideas how? all i can think of is to cable tied it

slip the heatshrink in on the power side... and bring it all the way to the PATA header side la.

can u unfold the cable for better view of each connector ??

kind of hard to suggest with the photo shown now ...

can't la, don't have digital camera, those pics i got from the previous bulk where i bought em

i can give u a hint to imagine it, from the PATA header got 2 wire coming out from it:
1. SATA Data Connector
2. Molex Power Connector

The SATA Data Conector got two ends where:
1. Connects to PATA Header
2. Connects to SATA Header at Mobo

The molex power connector got three ends where:
1. Connects to PATA Header
2. Connects to HDD/ODD Male Power inlet
3. Connects to PSU female molex inlet

hopefully that give u better to imagine it

why dont u draw with a image program for us to see ...

i think no need for that la, as i already knwo how to sleeve the end, but still afraid if the PATA Header will met too need to Google to learn a bit bout this sleevy thingy

if so afraid... wrap the PATA header with aluminium foil

hhmmm good idea, never thought bout that

show us the connector if possible once u are done with it ....

want to see how it looks like after serious sleeving job ...
