hello guys welcome back to another hardware connects bones review as you know no sleeved cable extensions are quite popular in the gaming and modding community as they hide all the colored cables inside your case and make the interior looking sleek on our review table today we have three brands one from BitFenix another from NZXT and the third from mod right now you might be familiar with the former - as big phoenix cables have been released a little bit later in the market but feature a different design of sleeting so let's take a look at these three brands and compare now if you've ever sleeved cables you know how tedious and time-consuming it can be especially for the 24 pin motherboard connector so a time-saving alternative is obvious with these sleeved extensions right off the bat the pricing for all three brands are quiet on par so it only comes down to stock availability at the stores you shop at and obviously your preference of the brand but all three brands have the standard connection types everything from the three pin fan extension to 24 pin motherboard connector however big phoenix has the upper hand and variety of types of the cables and also the colors they available in in total of 23 types for beat Phoenix and seven colors 19 types for NZXT in three colors and around ten times for mod right in five colors now if you are going for a colored build then variety of colors helps you be consistent and personalizing your interior becomes much easier ok so let's take a look at these cables and close up starting with one from beats Phoenix they use what they call nano sleeve which eliminates the need for heat shrink as the molded connector around the cable and the actual cable is braided in a thread-like pattern so the sleeving itself is not plastic and therefore is much more flexible than the other two brands making it easier to fold around corners and just generally easier to work with it's sort of a new approach towards sleeved extensions but isn't entirely new to the computer market as the same type of braided cables can be found on many mainstream gaming peripherals like mice headsets and keyboards so now moving on to the cables from NZXT the steaming here is more standard being secured by heat shrink in both sides of the cable and the still quality is quite amazing and you do expect the cables to withstand some intense flexing as you can see the heat shrink is quite short and is all black for three colors to blend in with the case interior now you can't say they're cheating a little bit as the cable inside is leaving is the same color as this leaving itself has to come a flashes further now the same approach is done by mod wright who have been on the market slightly longer than the other two brands and the differences are very minor for the actual sleeping is practically identical to the one from NZXT but the major aesthetic difference is the length of the heat shrink as you can tell it's quite long and has text written on it so for those who prefer the clean look to the slightest detail those may steer away from moderate cables now in terms of flexibility it does take quite a bit of force to bend them in preferred shape but is definitely not an issue here you can see the heat ring difference between the three brands and the less featuring the more flexible it is right in the edge of the plastic connector now beat fittings cables are the most flexible as heat ring is not used and the actual braided cable is easy to work with without sacrificing the quality of the cable which is actually superb so tears from bending is unlikely now the main question is which one is more user-friendly while beech Phoenix has the most variety of cables with many color options and provides the most flexible feel while NZXT is a good alternative and the heat shrink is fairly short with quality of the sleeving being really good but quite limited to only three colors mod rod is also another alternative however you do have to deal with stiff cables and a little bit longer heat shrink so for some of those who want the most tidy look mod right may not be the final choice however all three do the job they are supposed to and when it's time to slice the cake it really comes down to your personal preference thank you guys for watching and we'll see you next one
