The things I have done to these cables will certainly not go unpunished by the computer gods, at the very least I've cut the lifespans of these connectors by a factor of eight; but now I have a functional homemade VR cable.

@nytpu A little hint, instead of using tape like that buy some clear silicon "glue".. it dries like soft rubber so has the flex a cable needs not to create stress points. But is pretty sturdy so it really keeps things in place too. I add it when my wires start to fall apart and it lasts longer and better than the original.
@nytpu I use it on all my mac cables, which are designed to dissolve after 1 year... only reason they last as long as they do :)
@freemo Good tip! Kapton tape just happens to be what I had nearby, but I'll switch it out sometime.
