Holding wires/connectors together
«

Hi
I hope someone can help me.
Anyone know where online I can purchase these black rubber/elastic material to hold connectors (or wires) together?

I want to make some cables but can't find online where to get these rubber/elastic things. Maybe because I don't know what they are called? So if someone can tell me what they are called or have a link that will be wonderful!
Thanks a lot.

It is called heatshrink. You can find it at Radio Shack among other places. It comes in different colors/diameters & has different shrink ratios. You can also use expandable sleeving commonly referred to as Techflex to house your cables in a single sleeve. More info:
