sleeving

Adding tubular covering

Sleeving is the process of encasing cables, wires, or other components in protective tubing.

In electronics and PC building, it typically means covering power supply cables with braided fabric sleeves for aesthetics and organization: Custom sleeving gives the build a cleaner look.

The term also applies to inserting trading cards into protective plastic sleeves.
