I rebuilt Cablefied with a public, community-driven cable compatibility and power supply dataset, interactive configurator and pinout generator for custom sleeved PC cables, and cable length recommendation system for cases
Hello again. I am the developer behind Cablefied.
Cablefied is my passion project revolving around handcrafted custom sleeved PC cables, and it just recently reached version 1.0.0. As a result, I wanted to make a post since some of the content might benefit your own PC building projects.
To be as transparent as possible, yes, this is a promotional post by means of promoting my project, but I am not selling anything, or even have a method to accept payments. This is just a post to share my passion project with other individuals who enjoy a similar hobby.

Can you explain what Cablefied is again?
Cablefied is an elegant, handcrafted application designed to help you create
and share custom sleeved PC cables, PSU pinouts, and cable lengths.
- Design cables in the configurator. Build and share cable sets with 100+ sleeving, connector, and comb colors, 17 cables, the in-depth material calculator, and an image generator for social media posts or your own records.
- Create custom PSU pinouts. Develop, share, and contribute custom power supply pinouts with pin number tracking, pin voltages, sense wire indicators, an image generator, and support for seamless community pinout contributions.
- Generate cable design inspiration. Get inspiration for your custom sleeved PC cable sets based on your design preferences, and then transfer your favorite cables into the configurator for further customizations.
- Explore PSU cable compatibility. View compatible power supplies across numerous brands and series, with support for community contributions, pinouts, and links to the included power supplies for additional information like stock cable details.
- Contribute and view PC case cable lengths. Submit the cable lengths from your builds to the PC case cable length recommendations dataset to help others more reliably plan their future computer or custom sleeved PC cable projects.
So what has changed since my original post?
In short, I rebuilt the entire project based on user feedback and personal preferences to include more community features, and offer a better overall experience. Anyone can still design cables, create pinouts, and review information for themselves, but now you can contribute your own content too. Here are some of the highlights:
- Refined configurator features, including pinout-based material calculations. Fortunately, the side buttons on the cables have been removed and all customization options have been relocated to the config panel below, drag-and-drop reordering is now included, limits on adding cables have been removed outside of sharing features, image generations are integrated into the config panel, and the material calculator is now based on pinouts for more accurate approximations.
- Pin tracking and quality of life pinout generator improvements. With a simpler design, the pinout generator now includes pin numbers and sense wire tracking, a wiring diagram in the image generations, and seamless support for community contributions that help build the cable compatibility dataset.
- Cable compatibility and pinouts now include community-submitted data. I wanted to expand the existing, but limited, compatibility concept and build a public, community-driven dataset. This allows users to contribute and report their experiences in a centralized location for all power supplies and pinouts.
- Power supply stock cable details include lengths and connector variants. While pinouts primarily help with the wiring, all supported power supplies now have documented entries that include stock cable lengths, connector variants on the PSU side, such as PCIe or EPS, and general specifications.
- Cable length recommendation system improvements. While an ambitious initiative, it never reached the thresholds of enough legitimate data for each PC case due to a few limitations. I have since revised the resource to feature an easier submission and review process, accept more data types such as stock, crafted, and purchased cables, and also integrate information from the power supply entries. Therefore, once enough data has been contributed and analyzed, per case, some new details including in-depth cable comparisons and power supply data will be available for everyone to explore.
What has not changed?
I am proud to share that Cablefied is still entirely free, features no third-party tracking from display ads or similar services, and keeps a privacy-friendly, cookie-free analytics approach where IP addresses are anonymized and non-reversibly hashed for your benefit.
Do you still have future plans for Cablefied?
Of course! I enjoy working on Cablefied because I use it for my own projects. I also, genuinely, appreciate feedback for new features and adjustments.
If you craft your own custom sleeved PC cables, create pinouts, read compatibility data, or want to contribute your build’s cable lengths or pinouts to help grow the dataset for the DIY PC building community, I would greatly appreciate you giving the project a look.
In addition, if you have any questions about Cablefied, I would be happy to read your comments.
