Zeal’s Cables - [closed]

[Zeal]

Lime should be lighter.

The only other thing you would need to make it EXACTLY like that cable would be gold posted usb ends. However those are definitely not necessary.

So I assume Lime and Yellow is not the colour pictured on Zeal's post? If so, what colour option should I choose, Neon Green perhaps? Also, is double sleeving necessary to get the same result as the picture?

My site automatically hides either plastic or paracord base colour. You're under the "Paracord Base Colour?" field, so "Plastic Sleeve Base Colour?" hides itself. If you refresh the page / select the blank option at the top, "Plastic Sleeve Base Colour?" will re-appear. You'll see [PLASTIC] Lime Green there.

Also, heathsrink style is only available with straight, gold plated Mini USB connectors.

While Zeal is away, here's more of his handiwork to enjoy...

Back in July I asked Zeal to make me some cables to match my Playstation 4 and he delivered in spades!

(iCarbons skin, custom DS4 controllers by GamerModz, 10' USB cables by Zeal PC)

Show Image

I tried to make these as color accurate as possible... the Imperial Red paracord is a really rich, deep red with an almost metallic sheen to it, and the white-on-white is a brilliant neutral white.

Show Image

I love how thick the white on white double-sleeved cable is; if I wasn't dead set on getting the Imperial Red paracord I would've double-sleeved that cable as well.

What 75 percent board is that in the first picture?

Zeal,


Just curious why you have to get gold plated connectors in order to add heat shrink as a option?

[Zeal]

Zeal,


Just curious why you have to get gold plated connectors in order to add heat shrink as a option?

Nickel plated USB A connectors have extra bumps/teeth that protrude out in the middle of the connector to grip onto plastic housings, so the heatshrink wouldn't lay flush along the connector. I personally don't find it aesthetically pleasing, so I choose not to offer it as an option. Having HS on the standard black plastic Mini B housings also looks messy/doesn't fully cover the ends (and adds unneeded bulk), so that's also another reason that I sourced the gold plated metal Mini B ends.

I also source two different types of gold plated housings as well [one flush/one with bumps], for those that prefer the standard plastic housing look.

You can place a cable order on my site! Cost of that exact cable is $25 + shipping ($15 flat rate 1 day DHL Express to USA). Other countries will be shipped via Canada Post, unless you opt for DHL shipping.


Completed & shipped all the cable orders I received while I was away. Will post pictures in the afternoon / Saturday.  :thumb:

[caseyandgina]

Can you do slower/cheaper shipping to the USA? I can justify $25 for a nice cable but $40 is tough...

[Zeal]

Unfortunately, the slowest tracked option via Canada Post to USA costs about $14USD, and takes 4-8 business days. I choose not to offer it since I strongly believe that everyone would be willing to spend an extra dollar for guaranteed delivery times (1 business day).

[kitsun8]

just got the shipping notification. so excited!

I guess I was right on the spot with delivery date.  )

An update:

I should be returning back to Canada around the evening of Sept. 3rd. Will work on cable orders then and hopefully have them out before the weekend. Sprit cases/PCBs/springs should be next week.

However, I'll be returning back to Taiwan for only a couple days (literally 2-3 days) during first week of October to complete some unfinished business.

Time has come, so I'll be returning back to Taiwan on the midnight of October 2nd (leaving night of Oct 1). Instead of 2-3 days, it turns out to be about 5-7 days. I also have a handful of Sprit acrylic cases & (Gold) plated springs to unpack & ship on Monday before leaving, so Zeal's Cables will temporarily be on hold until I return. As always, you're free to order while I'm away, but I won't be able to make them until I return in October. Plastic USB A covers are also currently out of stock until October, so Plastic/Rubber style ends, (gold) Micro USBs, angled Mini/Micro ends are currently on halt. Sorry in advance for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Haven't had much time to upload pictures of my recent cable orders until today. So here's a few. 

kitsun8's Order:
5ft Clear on Neon Turquoise Mini USB Cable w/ Gold Plated Ends & White HS


7ft Black/Copper Paracord 24AWG Micro USB cable w/ Gold Plated Ends. ~1ft coil


2ft Baby Blue Paracord Mini USB Cable w/ Gold Plated Ends & White HS
2ft Gold Paracord Mini USB Cable w/ Gold Plated Ends & Clear HS


2x 3ft Acid Purple Paracord Micro USB Cable w/ Gold Plated Ends & "Right Angle" Micro B


3ft Silver Gray Paracord Mini USB Cable w/ Gold Plated Ends &  "Left Angle" Mini B


6ft Purple Mini USB Cable


7ft Lime Green on Neon Green Paracord Mini USB Cable w/ Gold Plated Ends & Black HS. ~6" coil, 2.5' straight.

CMYW Dolch inspired IBM SDL cable. 7" coil, spliced into a 4ft, 5 strand braid of 2x Neon Turquoise, 2x Rose Pink, 1x Neon Yellow Paracord in custom 16AWG PSU wire (wires were 5ft before braid), and re-spliced back to the USB end @ 4".

I do feel bad for making him do this for me during such a busy period.
I hope that your thumbs aren't too sore.

why not all of them?

[cseng]

why is there only one shipping option for international shipping (the fricking expensive one DHL Express $30) ?
i would like to choose International Small Packet Air.

How many cables did you order? There was an untracked option last time when i ordered.

I'm sorry cseng, the shipping filter to EU wasn't quite working properly. I've gone ahead and fixed it -- Small Packet Air should now show up.

Sorry in advance for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Not really. I've got some Glow in the dark colours / GID + reflective paracord that I haven't found time to make an example cable of. But other than that, I don't see myself getting some more new colours anytime soon.

[themack]

Just placed an order for an orange cable, but couldn't decide on a 2nd, so I might end up ordering a green or purple in future as well. Looking forward to seeing it!

When will you be getting more white plasic/paracord Zeal?

I still have white plastic in stock, white paracord has just been used like crazy recently with all the double sleeving with it being a base colour. If you meant Clear/White plastic, I'm not sure if that'll be in stock anytime soon.

Hey. My keyboard is coming in the mail soon and I will most likely be ordering my cable from here. Just a few quick questions if you have a moment. Are LED colors other than red, green, or blue possible? Such as white?

Also, if not, I think I will just get a cable identical to this one if possible. How much would it cost? What should I put in the order form to get it exactly like this? http://i.imgur.com/F6aZRM6.jpg

Unfortunately, white LED cables are not available.

Desired length, [Paracord]Gold, Gold USB A + Gold Mini B, Housing style -> Clear HS. Should cost $25+ $15 shipping

[connorelsea]

Thanks for the quick response. My keyboard came in this evening so I was able to get a better look at it. It is a WASD v2 keyboard and the cable is routed trough the plastic like many other keyboards, but the routing path seems small. Do you know if your cables fit through the holes of a WASD v2 keyboard? Here is a picture of the cable. http://i.imgur.com/xfMbiIV.jpg

I've made some paracord cables for customers with WASD boards before, and they fit no problem. Just note that WASD boards use Micro USB instead of the more common Mini USB found on other retail boards.

GID White Reflective Paracord: ~5.5ft w/ Gold Plated Connectors & White HS


It's got a cyan-teal looking glow to it. It's actually quite a bit brighter IRL, but camera has a hard time w/ night shots.



Also made this cable yesterday: (Out of stock on Goldenrod)

Definitely loving that GID cord. I'll eventually be buying one of those, for sure.
