Sigh, whipping up a cable when needed has become something to post about? Does having stacks of pin-out diagrams and a hot soldering iron near my desk make me look old?
- irq 7y agoNo, but it might make you stand out a bit from the almost entirely software focused nature of this web site.
- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoUsing paracord for sleeving is a good idea. Could be useful in practical applications.
- lbotos 7y agoIs it tho? I have paracord on my HyperX headset and it's HORRIBLE, tangles constantly. I'm considering cutting it off just to avoid the tangle. On something that never moves, maybe, but I abhor it.
- HeWhoLurksLate 7y agoMaybe replace it? There's a huge difference in quality between what manufacturers use and the 550 paracord that was used in this project.
- moftz 7y agoParacord is usually a bit more rough than the smooth nylon that you find on lots of fancy cables.
- kuzimoto 7y agoOdd, everything I've seen (that's at least paracord-like) was less prone to tangles than regular cable.
- psweber 7y agoYou get that problem if the paracord isn't pulled tight enough and trimmed.
- kuzimoto 7y agoIt's very popular in the audio community for making audio cables. I used some myself to make a sleeved and braided aux cable and it turned out really nice. Gives the cable a nice feel. Also, I'm not sure if it's the braiding or the Paracord (or both?) But it's very anti-tangle. I also used cable with a thin flexible jacket, so it doesn't stiffen up like a twig in winter.
