<---SHOP FOR THE VANTEC CABLE SLEEVING KIT HERE
PRODUCT COMPOSITION
The sleeving kit comes tightly packaged. The braiding
is spooled and displayed (so you can see the color), while the heatshrink
tubing and the tie-wraps are discretely bundled in the middle (away
from sight). This is one of those tough-as-nails containers that you
have to cut through with scissors (or tin-snips).
And finally the contents.
-10 ft. - 1/8" sleeving
-10 ft. - 1/4" sleeving
-5 ft. - 3/8" sleeving

-10 - tie wraps
-1 ft. - 9mm Heatshrink Tubing
-1 ft. - 20mm Heatshrink Tubing
-6 in. - 25mm Heatshrink Tubing
PRODUCT INSTALLATION
Today I'll be sleeving this Real PC Power power supply
unit. It's a nice dual fan, black PSU. You'll notice that the ATX power
cable is already sleeved. It comes that way. Seeing as it matches the
sleeving I'll be using today, I saw no reason to remove it.
First step is measuring how much sleeving you will need
for a cable. Measure out the distance, then cut that much of the braided
sleeve. The thing to keep in mind here is that some of the ends will
become a little frayed during this process and you're likely to trim
it back to make it a nice clean cut once you are done. As such, give
yourself a little extra with each cut.
