Happens with small coax and non-coaxial cables, as well.


I repair a lot of audio cables, and perhaps the most common is the thin
wire used for personal mics, which near always 'goes' just above the
connector. Sleeve it and it goes at the top of the sleeving. The cable is
often near impossible to replace completely as the mic is usually sealed,
so in practice it's best not to sleeve the connector cord grip at all, as
this involves shortening the cable more at the next repair.
