| This is my first little guide I have ever done… so if you don't like it, well Tough!!!
In this guide you will learn how to make your cables Aerodynamic or as some people say, rounded. |
|
| 1. To do this you need three basic things: an old ribbon cable, some tape (I have found electrical tape to be the best,) and a knife of some sort. I know I really don't need the big 5” knife, but it's the only one I had around. |
|
| 2. After you gather your supplies, you must cut the cable in the seems. Simply place the knife inside a seam, and press. Voila! You have done the hard part. Make the cut about 1” to 1.5” long. Remember that there are 40 individual wires, so cut apart every 2 wires or so, I chose every three. The fewer wires you skip, the smaller and more controlled the finalized product will be. |
|
| 3. After you have seperated all your cables, you need to carefully pull the cable apart. Failure to do this carefully can rip a wire out of the header, or even pull the insulation off of a wire. |
|
| 4. Your cable should look something like this when you get all of them separated. |
|
| 5. Next, you need to squeeze your cables together and roll some of that fine electrical tape over that momma. |
|
| Presto!!! The top of your cable is done! Just repeat these steps again for the bottom half of the cable and you are done. Have fun with your Fan-Friendly cables! Happy Modding! |
