The Ultimate Guide To Custom Cables: Everything You Need To Know

Ordering a custom-made cable is a good choice when existing products are unable to meet the needs of your application, or when an altered product could better meet the requirements of your application or gaming setup.

 

 

1. What is a custom cable?

As the name suggests, a custom cable is designed to match the device you are buying it for. We specialise in providing you with unique and fully customised USB or auxiliary cables – designed to meet your needs, be it a specific colour you’re looking for, a different connector type for your keyboard or if you simply want to change up the style on your setup!

Cables can be ordered for either micro USB, standard USB, Mini USB, USB-C with USB Type-A connectors. We also offer a large array of customisable straight, coiled, auxiliary, aviator, YC8 or Slim-O connector cables.

 

2. What are the benefits of custom cables?

There are many benefits of custom cables over standard cables. Most of the large tech brands have not embraced the cable customisation trend and there is a large number of manufacturers that use only standard cables, usually made in China.

With custom cables, you have the freedom to choose exactly what cables you want, how you want them, and when you want them. Custom cables and cabling enable you to upgrade the aesthetic of your device by changing the cables that connect your device to its charging/data ports. This can be as simple as changing the style or color of the cable and giving your device a completely different look and feel.

 

3. Are Custom Cables Worth It?

Absolutely!

Here are the two main reasons why:

1: With custom cable orders, you’ll be able to buy the exact amount of cable you need. Gone are the days worrying about excessive amounts of extra cable that you’ll never need to use or whether your cable will be too short.

2: A custom cable can be created according to the length that you require for your project. This creates a cool and clean setup, without having to hide those messy wires.

 

4. What are the materials used in making custom cables?

Our expert small team is ready to assemble your custom cable with Paracord, TechFlex, MDPC-X, or a combination of two sleeves, in some cases. Paracord is made from a Nylon material, Techflex (also known as “flexo PET”) is a polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) material, and MDPC-X is also an abrasion-resistant PET-style sleeving.

We offer our customers special specifications and quality assurance in every custom cable made.

How long does it take to ship custom cables? It takes us 3-4 business days to produce a custom cable depending on the specifications you ask for. This is also subject to change, depending on current workload.

 

5. How much do custom cables cost?

The cost of our cables will depend on the options selected and the size of the order but the majority of orders will cost between £16 and £50.
