I made my cable quite some time ago and it was a bit loose, I thought I just made it poorly but didnt bother trying to fix it, this video popped up on my feed and I decided to try to reserse mine, literally fixed my cable lmao
Wow, I now have a newfound appreciation for people who make and sell these. I’m determined to make myself one now! Thank you so much for this easy to understand guide. 10/10.
If anyone tries to build this (READ THIS) When you solder you DO NOT heat the solder and blob it on. That creates a very weak joint and a poor connection. And ups the chances of having cold solder joints too. You ALWAYs heat the part you want to solder to, until its hot enough itself to flow the solder. And pre tinning boths parts (connector and wire) is a good idea. And when you solder them together hold the iron firmly over top the wire with as much also touching the solder point on your connector. And when it dries DO NOT let the joint move and DO NOT blow on it or do anything to try and cool it down faster. These things will create cold solder joints and is a huge offense. Its not a good connection and in the professional world, youd be in big trouble.
For those who are wonderin if this will work with a regular hairdryer, answer is yes but you have to heat it for about an hour or so 😂 made mine today and it comes out perfect! (still depends on the specs of your dryer. The only specs I could find on mine are 220-240v~50-60Hz 1500w. but it does work! give this man a sub, he deserves it)
I started making mine last night, don't have a hairdrayer or heat gun. I wrapped it around a copper tube and threw it in the oven at lowest setting like 225F for an hour. Coil came out super nice even without reverse coiling!
This looks like such an awesome DIY project. This obviously isn't for people who just want a coiled cable or people who are trying to save a buck. It's much easier to buy one and call it a day. This is for people who actually find this kind of stuff fun. I'm all for it.

Also this guys soldering skills need some work. you dont heat the solder and blob it on. You heat the part until it melts the solder. His joints are going to be extremely weak and also not a great connnection. Prob has a few cold joints

People, if your going to do this then I have a few comments: 1) If your going to use a paint stripper heat gun then make sure you do not put the cable or heatshrink too close as you will melt the inside of the cable and have potential shorts. Remember that heat gun is designed to heat at extremely hot temperatures to remove paint. 2) The female connector goes on the USB-A connector NOT the USB-C one, the reason for this is because if you have the male pins on the USB-A side and you ever disconnect both halves while it is still plugged in to a power source then you are able to short out the power pins and potentially cause damage to your PC - if - so always have a female on the side that can provide power. 3) It's cheaper to just buy a premade braided cable and coil that than it is to buy the GX-16 connector pair alone. Have fun.

I don't see why people are all complaining about how difficult it looks.. it's really not so bad. Then again, I sleeve cables for computers on the regular so I guess I'm biased.
The purpose of these connectors is pretty questionable, they're mostly there for the aesthetic, but they also offer some functionality in being able to swap out different connector types and cable colours
It's a really good way to put lots of tear forces on the conductors inside the cable, some of the strands won't break though so the coiled cable will still work for a while.
A) I feel like I owe you tuition money I learned more in this video than I’ve learned in college b) what do you mean check “shorts” I’ve never soldered before c) what mouse are you using? Love the video instant sub from me
I’d do this but skip the G16 connector. I don’t see a point adding it. I’ll just solder the cable after adding the paracord and call it a day. Keep up the good work!
This was a very informative video. It was extremely good to see each step slowly and calmly. I also have a minor suggestion. On reversing the coil, you might try a drill. I have seen that technique on an episode of "How's its Made". Thanks again!
Comments, suggestion, and tips in improving the build is very much appreciated: 1. not necessary to know the pin config as long as you connect the same color of wire on the same pin number of both male&female connectors. it will only matter (as a standard) when you introduce another end type of USB and you want to reuse it. (ex. USB type A or C source input, with diff outputs: type C, micro, etc.) 2. your soldering iron was too hot on the video that it melted the connector pins plastic inside (it wiggled) 3. I was thinking, when you pulled that inner string of the paracord, you could have taped the wire in it? 4. I am worried about the 4 wires without small shrink tubes at least 2 of the opposite sides 5. that reverse coil is genius!
Thank you very much for the suggestions. :) 1. You are correct, there is really no standard GX16 pin assignment for USB cables, I just decided to follow that pin assignment for USB-A on USB-A connector. But, as you have mentioned, you can pretty much decide on your own pin assignments as long as you matched them on both ends of the connector. 2. My solder is usually set around 300 to 350 deg celsius. 4. Too tight to install heat-shrinks, also since the GX connectors housing has cable clamps, it should hold the wires in place. :) Again, thank you for the suggestions.
You can take the yarn core and tie it around/glue it/adhere it to the cable you're trying to pull through, so the sheathing never loses its roundness and makes it easier.
Some pc builds are behind the desk, or hidden, so going through the trouble to remove it from the back of the desk then reattaching it for another plug, like a mini usb or a micro usb would minimize effort, and time. Some though do not need this kind of cable.
Paracord is not go over USB-C, it expand but not that much. You can do it without cutting with some plastic sleeve but tbh, nothing look as good as paracord

What paracord did you use? Make sure its the Type III 550LBS. :) Also, based sa experience ko, yung 3 meters na Choetech medyo makapal nga siya so tight fit siya sa Paracord, pero kasya naman. :)

doesn't look too difficult and it's a good alternative to the ridiculous price of buying it on etsy or similiar. Will definitely try this soon! The only things that looks kinda difficult is the reverse coiling process.
you mean stretch the coil cord to straight or enhance its retractability by reversing the coil cable in a opposite direction? In cable manufacturing , reversing a coil cord means to "Reversing the coiling to enhance coiling retractability. if you mean “stretch straight”,as we coil cable manufacturer, we give an certain answer: No Possibility
Great video, Great song (what a banger! the vocals version is ace too btw...) I'm now going to have to go and buy a heat gun, a soldering iron, and all the bits to make my own cable...crap lol

Spray them yourself. All purpose metal primer, then any colour you want. It can be done inexpensively and really easily. Just have the confidence to do it, and don't overspray.
Nice video, though I would change the order of 1 if the steps. Before you start stripping the wires I'd go ahead and slide the casing and heat shrink onto the wires to make it even easier.
Thanks. :) Anyway, please do not reheating the cable after reversing the coil, this defeats its purpose of introducing tension on the cable, applying heat resets the polymer chains thus taking away that tension.
Yes, heat the coil after reversing it. Also, for a more even heating process, use an oven at around 225 for 1hr. The tutorial isn't necessarily "wrong" but it is NOT how high-quality custom coiled cables are made. The coil shown in the video is not "super tight and springy" compared to real artisan coiled cables.
@@FIZOdigital Also, on the aviator female, I noticed you didn't put any heat shrink or electrical tape on the solder joints. While not required or the end of the world, it is good practice to do and will help avoid possible shorts from the joints hitting the metal housings :)

@@niklasvegas I found a shop on Ebay: www.ebay.de/itm/Stecker-GX16-16-mm-2-10-Pin-Buchse-Stecker-Steckverbinder-Anschlusstecker-Adap/163478304094?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144
One of the few that have male+femail plug GX16
I finished my first cable a couple weeks ago with that
Cannot really compare quality though
I was looking for a DIY video like this in year 2014.
Thanks! I did this with the stock braided cable that came with my board (except I didn't put a gx16 connector) and connected it to the usb extension that runs to the back of my monitor
Keep it up man. The quality of your video is amazing!
amazing tutorial! glad you made it clear and concise.
btw, where did you get the purple keycaps from the beginning of the video?
I got it from NovelKeys (novelkeys.xyz/collections/keycaps/products/cherry-pbt-vaporwave) unfortunately, its sold out ride now.
@@FIZOdigital thanks for letting me know!
Cool and nice work there. But would've liked to see end result of finalized product stretched couple of times to full length and see the end result.
Nice vid. Whats the benefit of this type of cable?
Coil and thr connector?
Best tutorial of coiled cable 👊🏻❤thanks man ❤❤🔥
Great video tutorial! But i have 1 question, is there any other connector i can use instead of gx16 ? Tks
quá hay, phải thử làm mới được, xin cảm ơn
I know this is meant for keeps but I really want to try it for a charging cable for my wife. She goes through em and modding one like this would make it last!
Hide the cables tho. Dude after the video i went down to watch how many subs u have and jesus, u are so underrated. I hope u will get the recognition u deserve mate.
Ps: U could have hidden the normal cable, cus now it looks more messy than before
doesn't look too difficult and it's a good alternative to the ridiculous price of buying it on etsy or similiar. Will definitely try this soon! The only things that looks kinda difficult is the reverse coiling process.
you mean stretch the coil cord to straight or enhance its retractability by reversing the coil cable in a opposite direction? In cable manufacturing , reversing a coil cord means to "Reversing the coiling to enhance coiling retractability. if you mean “stretch straight”,as we coil cable manufacturer, we give an certain answer: No Possibility
Wow !! These are pricey for this reason!! I'm going to make it for myself for sure
Great video, Great song (what a banger! the vocals version is ace too btw...)
I'm now going to have to go and buy a heat gun, a soldering iron, and all the bits to make my own cable...crap lol
I'm not a coil kinda guy, but that's some very nice work.
Ah, so this is how it's made. Awesome! Many thanks for the video :)
What good is that you've done now
very very cool guide, simple and straightforward...but it hurts to watch a 17 min video with the same song playing over and over.... :O but thumbs up here
I purely watching this because the music is nice and i was falling asleep to and boom a DoorDash advertisement popped out at me and here i am............
what a great craftsman you are, sir! BTW, what size of GX16 did you use? TIA
Cool seeing the process!! Is there anywhere that supplies colored gx16 connectors?
Spray them yourself. All purpose metal primer, then any colour you want. It can be done inexpensively and really easily. Just have the confidence to do it, and don't overspray.
Looks fantastic but I kinda don't like the GX16-connector
Doing a reverse coil will also reverse the original orientation of the connectors right?
Nice video, though I would change the order of 1 if the steps. Before you start stripping the wires I'd go ahead and slide the casing and heat shrink onto the wires to make it even easier.
awesome video man!! do you recommend heating up the coil too when you reverse coil it?
Thanks. :) Anyway, please do not reheating the cable after reversing the coil, this defeats its purpose of introducing tension on the cable, applying heat resets the polymer chains thus taking away that tension.
Yes, heat the coil after reversing it. Also, for a more even heating process, use an oven at around 225 for 1hr. The tutorial isn't necessarily "wrong" but it is NOT how high-quality custom coiled cables are made. The coil shown in the video is not "super tight and springy" compared to real artisan coiled cables.
@@FIZOdigital Also, on the aviator female, I noticed you didn't put any heat shrink or electrical tape on the solder joints. While not required or the end of the world, it is good practice to do and will help avoid possible shorts from the joints hitting the metal housings :)
@@rukd8746 I completely agree with you, making coils perfectly tight takes a lot of effort but it seems like this coil has lots of inconsistencies in the coil
I love your keycaps. Where did u get it?
I was wondering the same any luck figuring it out?
