They are essential parts of our daily lives, and it is with them that most cell phones nowadays are charged. But regardless of the brand, it is almost impossible to prevent the cell phone cable from breaking, starting to break, and so on. Is not true?
That is why, by the way, we have prepared the article below. As you will see, there are several ways to make your cable more resistant and protected, using things you already have at home or that can be found for a small price, even on the internet.
Pen springs, cornstarch-based gums, and so on. Follow our list below and choose the best workaround for you.
Check out five simple ways to use cable protector:
- Pen Springs
Do you know those pens where you need to press the tip to make the tip appear? Well, inside them, there is a kind of spring, perfect for preventing your cell phone cable from breaking or continuing to damage, if it is already with some damage. Since most cable defects occur at the ends, this spring works as an excellent coating.
- Cornstarch + Silicone
It sounds bizarre, we know, but the mixture ends up resulting in a flexible mass, which can be molded around the cable to protect it and prevent it from spoiling. When dry, the finish is not the best, but the dough does the job efficiently.
- Cable Protectors
Now, if you’re a more organized person who doesn’t like hacks, cable protectors are great bets. They are cheap and can be found on the internet. In addition to being cute, they cover the ends of the handles, which are the most problematic areas, but they leave a better final look than the silicone cornstarch gum we’ve taught you to do before.
- Insulating Tape
If you don’t have one at home, it can be found, for a friendly price, at stores that sell building materials. As the name suggests, this black tape is insulating, and if the smaller wires on the inside of the cable are also exposed, the tape prevents you from getting shocked. But, the downside is that electrical tape is not as resistant, and it can be good to associate this method with the pen spring.
- Heat Shrink Tube
Another option that is also cheap and that prevents the cell phone cable from breaking are these tubes. As they can be found in various colors, the final appearance on the handle is fascinating. Still, the application is not very easy: it takes a lighter to heat the material and adhere to the wire’s original shape.
