    Anyone know if it is possible to either get braided internal 5 pin USB cables or how to braid something so small as I have an Aquabus cable and another USB header that need to be attached to my mobo and the coloured cables really mislook the case as everything is black
    I know.. my OCD is baaaad

    You can sleeve the whole cable using 12mm or MDPC-X SATA sleeve with 12mm or MDPC-X SATA heatshrink. To stop bleed through on the coloured wires you can either create your own cable using black wires or use a black Sharpie on them.

    I've not tried individual sleeving on each wire for an internal USB cable but I have done so on the internal power/reset/LED wires using either micro-paracord or Mod/Smart 3mm PET sleeve. In the case of the micro paracord because it's so narrow a diameter you have to crimp one of the pins on after sleeving.
