Tool for fast, consistent wire cuts?

Does anyone know of any manual bench tools that could do something like hold, tension and cut wire with a built in ruler? Or any good alternative DIY suggestions that isn’t tape? Some way to clamp down wire quickly with some type of locking hardware? A hinge bolted to the desk? Maybe mounting a neodymium magnet underneath and a piece of metal?

I built Cablefied, a free, interactive configurator for handcrafted custom sleeved PC cables with no ads or third-party tracking.

Hello. I am the developer behind Cablefied.

I have been building Cablefied as a passion project for quite some time now, and I wanted to showcase the application as it might benefit your own PC building projects.

Also, yes, this is a promotional post. Well, sort of. The core functionality of the Cablefied configurator is free and accessible for users to design and share custom sleeved PSU cable sets online. There is, however, an optional plan to support the Cablefied project geared towards a small subset of users, such as businesses and power users, which I explain in more detail below.

Screenshot of the Cablefied configurator.

So what exactly is Cablefied?

Cablefied is a purpose-built application for creators to design and share handcrafted custom sleeved PSU cables.

How does it work?

  • Add your preferred PC cables. This includes 17+ different cable types, such as ATX, EPS, PCI-E, and more.
  • Design with paracord and PET cable sleeving. Plan a cable set with a growing collection of solid and variegated paracord and PET colors. All options stem from popular sleeving choices available in the market today.
  • Customize connectors and combs. Select from multiple comb colors, and black and white connectors. You can also flip the connector directions to plan a cable set with curved extension cables.
  • View your material summary. Adjust the individual lengths, and extension or modular category types per cable. Once adjusted, the configurator automatically calculates the approximate amount of terminals, connectors, wire, and sleeving for your cables. This way, if you are crafting your own cables, you can get a rough idea of the amount of materials required to build the set.
  • Share in one click. If you click the copy button, a unique url will be copied to your clipboard. You can then paste this link anywhere online to share your cable set with others.
  • Automatic saving in the browser. If you are designing your cable set and refresh the page or come back later, your entire cable set will automatically be saved to the browser to prevent a loss of progress. However, you can always reset everything back to the default values if you want to start over.

Is it actually free?

Of course! I do not intend to paywall the core functionality of the Cablefied configurator, as I want to grow the world of custom sleeved PC cables. Anybody can visit the configurator, design cables for their projects, and share their creations online.

Then what does it mean to support the Cablefied project?

Individuals can, optionally, support my time developing and maintaining Cablefied to unlock additional benefits. These features were built primarily for power users and creators, based on early feedback, who craft cables as a business.

  • Save cable sets to your account. Supporters can save cable sets they work on, or sets their clients share with them, to the dashboard. Here they can add a title, notes, and even a crafting date if they want.
  • Access a growing collection of preset cable sets. Presets help kickstart the designing process by providing inspiration for your personal and clients’ cable sets.
  • Showcase your exclusive supporter badge. If you add a username to your account, it will be displayed on all of the cable sets you copy and share online.
  • Additional benefits for clients. A few other details include higher sharing limits, sharing durations, and feature suggestions from creators.

You mention no ads or third-party tracking?

Simply put, I am not a fan of ads or privacy invasive analytical tools. Therefore, I choose not to use them in my projects. I do, however, use a privacy-friendly script that tracks basic page visits and browser-related data to understand and improve the content, but it does not collect IP addresses or store any personally identifiable information.

What does the future look like?

At the moment, Cablefied is around halfway to 1.0.0. Aside from continuously adding new colors, I have a rough internal roadmap of features that originated from personal desires when crafting my own sleeved PC cables.

However, as I continue development, I would appreciate your feedback towards making the application even better. Whether you craft your own sleeved PSU cables, purchase from others, or use it as a tool to get inspiration for your next PC build, I would appreciate it if you gave the Cablefied configurator a try.

If you have any questions, or want to share a cable set you designed, I would be happy to read your comments.

'SATA Tools' crimping pliers for 10 12, 14 16, 18 22 AWG wires.

hi! been following a handful of postings sharing crimpers and tools alike especially SN series (48B/58B) tools, but i'm curious if anyone here tried or heard of tools by SATA? or, particularly SATA tools 91121 - Crimping Pliers for non-insulated terminals? i'm not sure if its meant specifically for atx terminals however, the specifications shows that it can work with 10 12, 14 16, 18 22 awg wires.

P/S edited the mistake highlighted.

Pinout - Corsair SF750 (Original Type 4 Connectors) Vs Corsair SF1000 (New Type 5 Connectors)

Hi All,

Does anyone know if the above PSU's use the same pinout but just with different connector blocks?

Also I found a post, posted a couple of years ago regarding the type 5 connectors for the Shift series, someone kindly added the PN's for the type 5's:

18-pin: Molex Micro-Fit+ PN 2064611800

10-pin: Molex Micro-Fit+ PN 2064611000

8-pin: Molex Micro-Fit+ PN 2064610800

6-pin: Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 PN 430250600

Could someone also confirm their have been no revisions and these fit the new corsair SF1000

Many thanks in advance!!

How long can I make custom sata cables?

What's the maximum length I can make the cables? Can I make them 2 meters? I want these cables for powering two D5 next pumps that are located by an external radiator.

Help me find a solution to this problem.

I have been making full modular cables for my cleints. One of my clients facing issue of getting random shutdown while running pc and also when playing high end games. Here is a short video as a proof of the issue, he sent me -

https://reddit.com/link/1gby4xm/video/8lfuc1zvfxwd1/player

The client is using this psu -

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/psu/cp-9020249-na/rme-series-rm850e-fully-modular-low-noise-atx-power-supply-cp-9020249-na

I made one 24 pin fully modular using the available pin layout diagram for the psu online. Note that I am using 99.99% copper cables for all of my custom cables.

What could be the issue? I am getting tensed as this has never happened to other customers. This issue started around 4 to 5 months after the purchase.

Hoping to get some good solutoin here.

Thanks in advanced.

Iori

PSU cable

Hi. I plan to sleeve and shorten the length of my cables, can I do the method shown in the picture attached since I have no option to solder, then sleeve the cable?

Like shorten the length of my 24pin to 10cm-15cm, will there be a problem with that? And is it also alright with other cables?

Heatshrinkless or Crimped Sleeving

doing my first custom cable set and whiles heatskrinkless seems to be the goto, the ATX pins i have, have a long wing which will allow me to crimp the sleeving into the connector.

Is one better than the other in terms of safety - e.g. pulling a cable may pull the sleeving out, or both works and it's just personal preference.

I plan to do crimped sleeving for the ATX power as it looks tidier and quicker than spending few seconds a time doing heatshrink.

Thoughts?

Converting PCIE to CPU

Is it possible to convert 8 pin VGA power to CPU? I need the power for a crappy dual CPU workstation I have. No I can’t get another PSU, I’m poor. What cable should I get?

edit to paste my other post here: After sifting through my cables I found a CPU cable for my PSU (yes it’s from the same PSU) Would I be able to connect this to the VGA connector?

The PSU in question is an EVGA Supernova 650 G3. Will it kill me immediately, slowly or never?

Got the wrong cables...

So I just got my 4070ti, which I've looked forward to (Windforce OC, 12gig VRAM). Old GPU cable didn't work, so I got a 12VHPWR which the guys at the store said would work just fine (2x8 connectors on the other side). Didn't work, because the keying pattern didn't match my PSU (BDF-850C) unless I plugged it into my CPU slots (which caused the PC not to boot). In a last-ditch, I did the stupid and cut the connector ends (don't worry, I've learned a lot these past few hours) and arranged it in a way that fit the keying pattern, but of course, the PC didn't boot.

So what I've now learned is that, apparently, there is what appears to be a new standard keying pattern for GPUs? These were Corsair's 12VHPWR PCIe 5.0 cables, and it matches the EPS12V pattern rather than what I assumed to be the PCIe pattern.

To be specific, the pattern my PSU offers is (with the safety pin at the top) is (trapezoid = t, square = s): ttst, sttt. Corresponding to the EPS12V pattern, this cable is: "tsst, stts".

Edit: of course, I forgot to name my question: What do I do? Should I get 12VHPWR to EPS12V pattern (x2), should that work just fine?

Sleeve my own Cablemod Cables

Hey guys!

So I have a 3090ti which uses the 12VPHWR connector. I don't want to mess around and break one and I have sleeving I want to use. Would it be possible to sleeve my own Cablemod stealthsense wire or just order from Cablemod and call the material I have a lost?

Custom Sata data Cables

Hello,

Does anyone know what cable gauge and quantity need for a data data cable? Also are there any connectors that don't need to be soldered on?

An 8-pin EPS connector, except the keying is flipped.

So I bought a couple PSU's with missing cables. They're cheap and normally it's very easy money to make a complete cable set and then sell 'em again. However in this instance...

https://preview.redd.it/6wg39yuk6zqd1.jpg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=442c5eb1163e9f4d2d68ffde73a36b12bf810b0e

I thought it was just a regular EPS connector when I bought it. I used my multimeter to check the pinout. I made some cables for it and... wait, they don't fit?

Nope, turns out this manufacturer decided to use a proprietary connector where the keying is the exact opposite of a regular EPS connector. At first I tried shaving down the bottom row, but that still didn't fit.

Here's the trick that ended up working. I ended up resorting to cutting down a 2x8 connector:

https://preview.redd.it/vke8pew47zqd1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f618a5fe36aa86c2795ee985dc68c05b3a29895b

The result is pretty seamless:

https://preview.redd.it/vbo38v9a7zqd1.jpg?width=2125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=269d2aff9c7f94805c4e4db88141f513e2b5c919

Overall, I turned a €15 psu into a €45 PSU using less than €10 in materials. And as a bonus, giving the PSU a second life prevents some E-waste.

While I'm at it, here's the pinout diagram for the PSU in question, a SilentiumPC Enduro FM1 650W

Looking for UK supplies to build Corsair Type 5 custom PSU cables

For reference this is not my first set of cables, and while converting the SATA pump power to PCIe seemed like a good idea then, now it's become a Have to get it right first time problem if I want to replace my SF600 (2018) with a SF850 (2024). While I can use all the other cables out of the box, that connector has to be changed.

See pics https://www.reddit.com/r/PCSleeving/comments/18ynkib/custom_sleeved_flt80/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

So far all I've found is Corsair Type 5 Power Supply Unit PSU Mini Modular Connector 3mm Pitch - MODDIY.

Anyone got any alternate suggestions?

Preferably UK based?

Antec HCG Pro Platinum PSU Pinout

Anyone got the pin out diagram for this PSU?

I heard this PSU is based off the Seasonic Vertex PSU.. would it be safe to assume they use the same layout?

Also the default cables look super thin but i can't tell whether they are 16awg or 18awg.. and would it matter if i used 16awg throughout

Fan splitter (Two headers double crimp)

I was looking to make a fan splitter, but my terminals aren't large enough for two wires. Is there a specific terminal to purchase to accommodate two wires?

Looking for some pastel colors

Title. Looking for pastel pink sleeving, like on the white/pink Jonsbo Z20. I can find plenty of neon, but nothing pastel. I'd also consider a pastel purple. E: I didn't realize you could just remove the paracord core, this simplifies things. Still would be interested in PET

Also does anyone sell the actual plastic connectors in fun/custom colors? This one's less important to me than the sleeving.

Willing to look at stores and vendors basically anywhere in the world.

Crimping 12VPHWR sense and GRD wire together?

Hey guys weird question. I was looking at cablemod's stealthsense 12VPHWR and it seems like there is just a bridge between the 2 important sense pins and a ground wire. Do you think there would be any issue if I crimp one of the ground wires with the (2) sense wires and just have little tails hidden away? Or would there be a worry that current could fry the sense pins?
