This isn’t perfect, the sleeve probably was slightly too big but I’ve noticed that the original black coating of these vr cables is pretty prone to scratches from sharp objects in your surrounding environment so I bought a protective sleeve from Amazon and used electrical tape on the edges to hold it in place. Plus I wanna be able to let my cats on the room without marks being left from them stepping on this cable with their claws.
At least these protective sleeves for electric cables will be cheaper and much easier to replace than the actual cable for your vr headset itself
Simply to help protect the original coating on the wire so the internal wires inside don’t get exposed to damage and you won’t need to buy a new vr cable. These things are not cheap to replace and it’s best to keep your headset in decent condition if possible for when you sell it to switch to another one.
I had to cut part of the sleeve off and melt the edge with a lighter to prevent fraying and falling apart. I’d highly recommend you do that before you put the sleeve over your cable to avoid setting the original thing on fire or melting the original coating.
This took me hours because I had to keep pushing sections of the cable close together to expand the inside to get the cable all the way through. It’s kinda like a Chinese finger trap.
And I was also doing this while the power was knocked out.
Hopefully in the future third party sellers will provide us a much quicker easier way to put protection sleeves onto vr cables to protect the cables original coating so that if the protective sleeve gets damaged we can simply remove and replace that for a much cheaper price instead of going through trouble to buy a replacement cable for our vr headsets.
That way we can simply replace the protective sleeve on our vr cables and swap it out with another for a cheaper price if anything happens.
