    The braided sleeve is expandable up to 150%, making it easy to slip over any plugs or connectors.

    That's how you fit it over the connectors according to that link. :D

    I have never done it, but you have to push the contacts throught the molex connectors to take them off, cut the sleeving to length, and be sure to put the right cables back in the right holes:D :D:D

    If you are doing IDE cables just split the cable every 8 strands, and bunch them together and put the sleeve over them

    *EDIT* I just saw that its expandable, so you shouldnt have to remove any connectors *EDIT*
