CREATE SOMETHING TOTALLY UNIQUE

There are so many options and combinations we can do, so here we'll lay out all the options with real world examples of each different combo. There is quite a lot of info here, but we want to make the PERFECT cable for you! It is a good idea to gain some knowledge about this step in the process as each base and double sleeving can completely change the look of your cable!

BASE LAYER

First off, we need to decide on your base layer.

For coils & straight cables, we recommend choosing 550 (USA made paracord) for the base with either your choice of Techflex or MDPC-X as the double sleeving layer... more info below!

For straight cables, you can go with MDPC-X or 550 with the base layer and Techflex or MDPC-X as the double sleeving layer

  • 550 BASE

    The perfect base. Soft, flexible USA made paracord that can have Techflex or MDPC-X applied as the double sleeving layer. Perfect for straights and coils!

  • MDPC-X BASE

    MDPC-X can be used as the base layer on straight cables, we don't recommend it on coils. As MDPC-X is a stiffer base material, it can add strength and rigidity. Pair with Techflex as the double sleeving to add some crazy texture!

  • MDPC-X BASE + TECHFLEX DOUBLE SLEEVING

    The outsider. For those who want something different. MDPC-X base layer and Techflex double sleeving is for those who want extra texture and dimension to their cable. Best to go for darker colours as the base layer, such as MDPC-X Blackest Black, Carbon or grey shades.

  • MDPC-X NATURAL WHITE

    See how a light base and light MDPC-X double sleeving effects the look of the cable. With a light 550 base and light MDPC-X the cable can really POP! Nice, bright base layers pair well with MDPC-X Transparency, lighter liquid / carbon colours and shades like Mellow Yellow and Atomic Green. The lighter the MDPC-X the more POP and brightness. Go with a 550 Arctic White base and light MDPC-X for a show stopper cable!

  • MDPC-X TRANSPARENCY

    550 Base and MDPC-X Transparency can create some stunning effects. As MDPC-X is a super clear and light double sleeving, you can see a lot of the base layer. Goes well with solid, patterened or camo 550. Match with Arctic White for a snowy look, any of the 550 camos or patterns will create a super contrast-y finish. Let your imagination go wild! Basically anything will look sweet with this combo!

  • MDPC-X BLACKEST BLACK

    Pair the base layer with the double sleeving for a super deep and dark finish (e.g. 550 Black with MDPC-X Blackest Black) or go with a contrasting base layer for a little fleck of contrast peeping through (e.g. 550 Arctic White with MDPC-X Blackest Black).

    As you can see, a black base and double sleeving makes the cable super dark and slick... with a white base and black MDPC-X double sleeving, you can see a small amount of the base layer showing through!

  • MDPC-X LIQUID RED

    A great example of the effect of the liquid and carbon MDPC-X colours can have on the base 550 layer. Match the base layer for extra deep colour (e.g. 550 Blood Red and MDPC-X Liquid Red) or contrast the base layer for a super unique look (e.g. 550 Arctic White and MDPC-X Liquid Red)!

  • 550 BASE- PATTERNED, CAMO & EVERYTHING ELSE!

    We have TONS of different paracord base colours. If you want to add something a little funky to your board, choose one of our many patterned & camo style 550 base layers with Techflex Clear or MDPC-X Transparency to add some depth and extra dimension to your cable!

  • 550 BASE & MDPC-X DOUBLE SLEEVING- BUT WITH A DIFFERENCE!

    With a camo or patterned 550 base, you can choose to add a little flair to your cable with MDPC-X as the double sleeving. MDPC-X has a thicker cable weave than Techflex, so it won't show as much base layer through. Expect little flashes of colour from the 550 base. Go with a bold pattern and a liquid or carbon MDPC-X for the best results!

  • MDPC-X BASE & TECHFLEX DOUBLE SLEEVING- A FEW NOTES

    MDPC-X has a thicker weave compared to Techflex's thinner weave. MDPC-X is made of 3 strands whereas Techflex only has 1. Both materials are made of PET (plastic) and when Techflex is added to MDPC-X you can come up with some cool effects. NOTE however, we recommend using the darker shades of MDPC-X as the base if you plan to go down this route, as you may see a little of the black USB cable underneath!
