Just curious guys.

Is it possible to sleeve cables using papers ? Like those so call "Sugar paper" which is black in color and nice hardness, put cables inside roll around it and tape it ?

Or you can use double tape with sugar paper stick on the other side of it....May be tedious job but can waste a lot of time tongue.gif

The consequences of tape... you should know... sticky cables later. Probably you want to consider using "spiral sleeve" like those shown over here:

Standard sleeving is tedious but well worth it, not too really expensive anyway, you can also see some pricing in topic above.

Sleeving is quite easy as shown in tutorial but it has to be done by removing cables connector head. The mind which came up using tape and paper because it can be done by rolling beside them, not need to remove the head.

No confidence scare will spoil the PSU. sad.gif

Better choice is to go to a PVC pipe factory n buy their thin PVC lining for electric cables. That's what i did. One whole ream of those lining cost rm49. Use until wanna die also cannot finish. I use that to sleeve PSU cables and fan cables. Works like a charm.
