Review : Cord Protector
In the grand battle between pet owners and their furry companions, few skirmishes are as relentless as the war on chewed cables. Enter the REFLYING Dog and Cat Cord Protector—a product that promises to safeguard your wires from becoming your pet's latest chew toy. But does it truly stand up to the challenge? Let's unravel this cable conundrum.
First Impressions: A Sleeve of Hope
Upon unboxing, the REFLYING Cord Protector presents itself as a sleek, expandable braided sleeve, measuring 3 meters in length with a 12.7mm diameter. Its black, self-closing design exudes a sense of durability and practicality. The material feels sturdy yet flexible, hinting at its potential to withstand the gnawing endeavors of determined pets.
Installation: Wrapping Up the Problem
Installing the sleeve is a straightforward affair. Simply gather your cables, insert them into the sleeve, and let the self-closing mechanism do its magic. The expandable nature of the sleeve allows it to accommodate multiple cables, making it a versatile solution for various setups. However, cutting the sleeve to your desired length requires a bit of precision—and a sharp pair of scissors.
Performance: The Chew Test
Our resident feline, Nala, known for her penchant for nibbling on anything resembling a string, was the perfect candidate to test the protector's efficacy. After encasing our vulnerable cables in the REFLYING sleeve, we observed Nalas' reaction. Approaching with his usual curiosity, she gave the sleeve a tentative nibble, only to retreat with apparent disinterest. It seems the protector's material isn't to her taste—a victory for our electronics!
Features We Appreciated
- Durable Material: Crafted from organic PET, the sleeve boasts insulating and chew-proof properties, providing peace of mind to pet owners.

- Self-Closing Mechanism: This feature ensures a snug fit around cables, eliminating the need for additional fasteners.
Considerations
- Size Limitations: While the 12.7mm diameter is suitable for standard cables, bulkier cords might require a larger sleeve. Measuring your cables beforehand is advisable.
