What is the best thing to use for a sleeve on the cord when installing a mic jack on a small diameter cord? The cord is the same size or slightly less than the plug even fully tightened. The strain relief boots I find are not made correct for this. Does anyone make tubing specifically for this? Thanks for any information.

Mic cord sleeve

Some guys have said they use stacked up heat shrink but I personally found that gutting a black 3 wire extension cord and then using that jacket works great as well as looking original. Wallyword sells a 6' black extension cord for about 5 bucks which is what I used.

Had some mike cords that were a perfect fit for the stripped-off jacket from RG-8X "mini-8" coax. The ends that got stripped off to install a PL259 get saved for this purpose.

I second the RG8X outer jacket pieces, I used to use them in years gone past. We (shop I used to work for) used Astatic mic cords that we bought in bulk, and I used coax outer pieces (saved) for such purpose.
