Colored cables

[sylvar]

The iPod cable in my car is difficult to find. It's in plain sight, but it's also easily confused with the black power cord for my travel fridge. And if I use a white cable, I'd confuse it with the power cord for my AC/USB transformer.

Surely, I thought, someone sells audio cables in purple, green, red, or other colors.

Not that I've found. The only exception, as far as I can tell, is the Acoustic Research AP-047N 6' Performance Series 3.5mm Mini Male to Male Adapter ($8.47), which just happens to be an attractive shade of blue:



Someone should start selling cables in various colors!

Spray paint?

nail polish works better.

I just trace the cable from where it's plugged in to the end. I've only got two, though, and they're not tangled, so that's pretty painless for me.

I do think the spray paint idea is not totally facetious, though. Maybe a stripe of tempura or something similar. Or just a colored tag and / or twist tie at the loose end.

colored electrical tape. i think the paint would scrape off easily. or maybe some colored heat shrink at the end.

I don't have the time to scope it out for you but go to Digi-Key and see if they have something. If anyone would, they would.
