This is about the thickest I can fit in a ParaMax sleeve. Bigger than that and I use PET mesh sleeves instead. This cable is used to power a 35mm film camera (ARRICAM LT) on a Steadicam with 24v.
Nice stuff. I sometimes make very high voltage cables (silicone jacket is 5x the actual wire diameter). I’ll try your technique next time, though I already know getting the sleeve sliding on silicone is gonna suck. Maybe some soapy water… Hmm.
What is the thickest cable assembly you’ve made in this form? And how does the industry use that particular cable?

You can also carve the sleeve in a cone to help a bit of the sleeve is really thicc
