MiMiC Cables - Custom Sleeved Cables

[tjcaustin]

hi I didn't really read most of the thread, sorry - but is there any chance you have anything ready to ship (to Sweden)?

I could have something in the mail Wednesday, assuming I have all the parts.  I am a day away from having 0 queue for the first time ever.

[munch]

really? is there any way you could check etc? I'll place an order right away if I get confirmation.
thanks for the quick reply!

Checking now...

Go ahead and place your order on mimic-cables.com

[munch]

I don't seem to get the shipping option when I press checkout, what am I doing wrong?
it should be $31, not $21 total right?

thanks!

Keep going, it'll ask you for your information.  Something's weird with how my check out is set up.

[munch]

OK there we go, order placed, a bit weird indeed but it works out well. I hope I understood the custom selection process correctly, I wrote in:
Royal/Black
5ft
(if included) grey heat shrinkwraps
USB Mini <-> USB A (for KBC Poker II)

Thank you!

Hey,

Just got mine. It looks great! great work mate.

[munch]

also got mine this week, put some heatshrink on it since I didn't really make it too clear I wanted some on it.

accidentally screwed up the first connector so had to use some of this industrial super thick stuff on the USB A end... I quite like it even if it looks a bit ridiculous.

thanks tjcaustin!

[sinerex]

Just placed an order last night: #1293

Can you confirm whether you received my email. I wanted to correct the order to have black heat shrink.
If there is anyway I can modify the special instructions for you let me know.

Thanks, looking forward to the cable.

[tjcaustin]

Confirmed and noted on the order form

Hello, just a question to austin and others.

What has been your favourite sleeve material and why?

I'm thinking of ordering a MDPC sleeve, but I already have one of your cables (which I love btw) with it and I'm worried it might be harder to fit into a small keyboard bag.

Also just curious if you can do coiled cables; this would probably require a softer sleeve.

[Data]

What's this one?



Doesn't look like CF or paracord to my completely untrained eye.  I just realized that I must have it.  It is... precious to me.

My favorite sleeve kinda bounces around with my mood, but right now my cables I use are split half and half paracord and mdpc.  I like carbon fiber and kevlar, too, though and almost always try to think of a cable I should redo in it.  Silver silica used to be on all my stuff, but I've changed a lot of it (the stuff that is) and silica can be itchy.

Also, I can do coiled cables in any sleeving I offer

[Karura]

Thanks for the response!

Got any pictures of coiled CF or coiled MDPC?

[tjcaustin]

While I can do it, no one's ordered them.  pexon has pics of coiled mdpc, though.  Or I think he does.

Thanks, ordered.

Are you still running about 4 weeks out on these?  I don't mind waiting, just curious.

[tjcaustin]

Trying for more like 2 weeks, but things aren't the best around here right now.

[Data]

Cool. No pressure.

Picked up my order from the mailbox today, they both came out great, thanks!

Indeed.  It's already sleeved and waiting to get stripped, tinned and soldered.

I'm so glad you said tinned.  Made an order a few days ago.  So many companies no longer tin, much less being taught anymore.

Just got it! It looks great. However, the mini USB does not fit as snugly as I would've liked, it's incredibly easy to pull it out, but other than that its fantastics.

Hey TJ, I placed my order (order #1353) a few days ago and was wondering what's the status on it and whether I added in my note that I wanted it to be 1tft long.

It's sleeved already and waiting to get all the hard work done to it.

Waiting on angled mini usb ends and usb cable right now.  I ran through over 500 feet in the last month.

[Tactical_Towel]

I got my cables today and i love them <3

Just a tip for your next customer from oversea: Attach (a copy of) the receipt on the outside of the package, so your customer doesn't need to go to the local customs office for paying the extra taxes

[blazarcher]

Is it possible to use paracord for the cables so that the heatshrink doesn't have to be used?

[tjcaustin]

I only use heatshrink on request.  Most cables have a hard plastic cover on the ends.

Hey TJ, I am curious as to if you have any pictures of cables made for Shure headphones. Specifically for the SE series?

I haven't made anything for shure IEMs yet, so I don't have anything to show.  But they shouldn't be any different than the standard CIEM plug to do.

Both ends of this cable seem to not have the large black plastic connectors on them and are only shrink-wrapped. Is it possible to custom order a cable that is similar?

USB -> USB mini without the plastic connectors surrounds and with gold connectors.

Yeah, just request it in the comments when you make your order.

Cool, done. I didn't see my special instructions listed in the Mimic Cables email or the PayPal confirmation email though so I hope it still came through.

If you put them in, I have them.  For some reason, it doesn't get sent with either of your confirmation emails, though.

It's still working for me, so yeah go ahead. Looking forward to seeing what you choose.

[anti808]

Quick question, if you order a cable that's 1-6 feet, is it 1 foot or 6 feet?

[tjcaustin]

Quick question, if you order a cable that's 1-6 feet, is it 1 foot or 6 feet?

It's whatever you choose from 1 - 6ft. The ranges are more to show the upgrade price for longer options.  When you place an order, there will be a comments field in the shopping cart for you to specify length there.

[CoolGrayAJ]

Hi TJ! I placed an order on the 15th last month. I was just wondering if I can look forward to it soon
