This happens a lot. So far, I've tried:
- Wrapping the head with paper tape, then dipping the whole thing in Plastidip.
- Sugru silicone putty.
- Heat-shrink tubing.
All failed a few months later, so it has to be applied every once in a while.
Anyone have better ideas?
Wrap a short section of stiff spring around it when it's new. Should help prevent sharp bends at the plug head.
Like this but better
96% of all such frayed charging cables are Apple. It's stunningly bad that a company of that size is unable to deliver good cables. Or worse, unwilling to do so.
Thanks! Guessing that's heat-shrink tubing on top, to prevent sliding. Will try it with a new cable.
You could likely use the spring from a pen for it
Apply the same material that is on the inside wires to the outside.
