Strong, Flexible, and Designed for DIY Creativity

Beyond its visual appeal, paracord provides a protective wrap for cables, preventing twisting, fraying, and mechanical stress.

It ensures that custom cables not only look premium but also withstand daily use, constant movement, and even accidental pulls. The maximum diameter of 3.8mm makes it perfect for sleeving USB cables while staying easy to handle.

Note: The paracord ratio is 1.15:1, (example:) you want to make a 1.8 m [6ft] cable, you will need to take at least ~30 cm [1ft] more than the basic cable. More length is high, more margin you will need, but to estimate the length needed, multiply the size of your cable by 1.15.

(Ex: 180 x 1.15 = 207cm) = (Ex: 6 x 1.15 = 6.9ft) Adding extra length is always better to keep a safe margin for your project. Whether for your first DIY build or to expand a collection of custom coiled cables, this paracord is a must-have for a flawless finish.

The Paracord 550 Is Perfect for All Custom Keyboard Cables Projects

The Paracord 550 Type III is more than just sleeving, it’s the detail that defines a cable’s personality. Originally designed for parachute suspension lines, this durable braided nylon cord is strong, flexible, and lightweight. Today, it has become a favorite among keyboard enthusiasts who want to customize their cables with style and durability.

With over 60 colors available, paracord offers endless possibilities to match your keycaps, deskmats, or entire setup. Whether the goal is a bold, vibrant design with neon tones or a clean minimalist aesthetic with neutral shades, paracord ensures every build feels unique and personal.

Unlike plastic housings or lightweight connectors, this metal build keeps its refined look even after daily use. For me, the YC8 V2 proves that even a small detail like a connector can transform a simple cable into a true custom piece of gear that reflects your style.
