SATA Power Sleeving with Paracord

[MrDavid]

Hi, I have Paracord sleeving coming in the mail, and in anticipation, I prepared my cables for sleeving (i.e. removed the oem sleeving) and I came across a little hiccup in my plan to sleeve my SATA power cables. I have no Idea how I can sleeve the wires without interfering with the in-line connectors whilst maintaining the heatshrinkless look. Has anybody who is reading this, successfully achieved this goal? If so, how do I do it? I've already searched the web, and came up with nothing as of yet. I will keep on looking though.

Thanks  in advance!

usually the issue is the piercing pins in the connector are too shallow

to pierce the paracord, insulation, and then the wire. and if you finally get

the pins to pierce and make a connection, the connector top squeezes the

cord so much, it will tend to bunch-up and be a bit unsightly. i looked

through mouser catalog for 16ga SATA to have extended pins, but was

not available. if you can re-engineer the connector to a larger diameter,

as to not bunch the paracord on closure, then you might have something.

i kept damaging the piercing pins and hence used the smallest HS for the

step-down.

Heatshrinkless requires a pin to grip and a connector to mask it, you have neither of these, stick to some decent heatshrink.
