Braided C13 power cables in the UK?

[doodleonthings]

Hi PC pals, newly registered here, been watching the channel for years

 

Planning a new build and got a few custom braided cables made for my keyboard and other peripherals, but finding it impossible to get a nice looking braided C13 cable for my PSU. I know that @CableMod do braided power cords like the ModFlex but they seem to be sold out of UK versions right now. Would prefer something a bit more fancy, but I don't mind if it's plain white or something, would just like a cable that's not a plain black plastic one. The only ones I can find right now are audiophile versions which are astronomically expensive.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Places like Pexon can probably make you a custom one if you want something specific:

I got some other cables from them, but they don't do power cables unfortunately.

 

Might have to go with a nice braided extension cable and a very short plastic C13.

If you are comfortable you can wire up a section of presleeved cable or shorten and existing one using rewire-able cable ends.

Try directly contacting Pexon or other UK cable sleeving companies to see if they are willing to do custom work like power cables.

@doodleonthings we actually put those on end of life, so these won't be restocked, unfortunately they just weren't really selling.
