UV Sensitive
I bought a UV sensitive round cable. I have a blue cathode in the computer to. Is the round cable supposed to glow blue? Because mine isn't.

You have to use a UV cathode to make the cable glow.

 http://www.srrb.noaa.gov/highlights/...e/spectrum.gif If you look at that you will see that UV would appear to be vilot in color while most of it is impossible to see with human eyes. A Cold Cathode is a general name. UV Cold Cathode is like saying Blue Cold Cathode. Cold Cathodes come in many colors and what you want is one that is UV..like this one. http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/lit-23.html

Yea Cold Cathode is just the type of Cathode. You have a Blue Cold Cathode right now, but you need a UV cold cathode to make the cables glow. UV meaning Ultra"Violet", will appear Purpleish looking at the cathode.

With UV lights, it should look something like this:
http://www.neffing.com/pics/albums/userpics/Comp12.jpg I used two UV cathodes for that. One on the side (which needs to be hidden better in that pic) and one on the bottom. |

Yes, it will glow, but the light from the blue cathode will take away from the intensity a little bit.
