y to sleeve your computer cables? Here’s a step by step guide.

1. Study the connection of each individual wire. Take the connector end of the computer cable that you want to sleeve.
2. To better help you, draw a diagram of the computer cables. Do not forget to note the arrangement and color of the wires.
3. Using your connection pin removal tool, remove the computer cables from the connector. Place the connector on a hard surface and make sure the exposed metal connections are faced upwards. Insert the removal tool with enough force until it pops out and slips out.
4. In choosing your cable sleeve, make sure it is as close to the size of the computer cable you are about to sleeve as possible. Cut the sleeve in such a way that ¾ of the cable is exposed at both ends.
5. Now, carefully thread the cable sleeve through the wire.
6. Based on the diameter of your computer cable, cut two 2-inch pieces of your heat shrink tubing and place it at both ends of the cable, covering the exposed parts.
7. Using your heat gun (or a hair dryer on high heat or the heat from a lighter), heat the tubing while twisting the computer cables to ensure even heating and shrinking.
8. Based on the diagram you made earlier, secure the pins back to the connector. Tip: the pins make a clicking sound when inserted. Make sure it is secure before installing it again.
