Best way to fix this?

Electrical tape nigger
>>
I have this exact problem with my mac.

Electrical tape. Lots of it. Wind it very tightly. Cover a good 4 inches of the cord so it won't break again.

Buy anything other than a mac.

Mac stopped being good in like 2002.

Buy a new one from the Apple Store like the faggot you are

Electrical tape is not suited for exposed applications. It gets ragged, sticky, and makes an unpleasant mess. Instead, use a self-fusing rubber splicing tape like 3M's 2242.
>>
Take apart pen. Stretch spring a little bit. Wrap spring around cable. Either use fitting shrinking tube or, if necessary, wrap with electrical tape until minimal diameter for shrinking tube (that has to fit over the plug) is reached.
>>

What others said. To prevent other Apple cables self-destructing, a long-practiced preventative measure is to place a spring from a pen on it to keep it stiff right there.

You don't. If any of those wires inside are fraying, you're halfway to fucked.

also known as a strain relief; engineering magic used for decades, only to be recently forgotten by Apple.

Is the underlying cable still in tact with no breakage? If so, the end of that connector looks pretty small and you should slip an inch or two of heatshrink tube over it and heat it tight with a lighter. That should stop any further issues.

you're holding it wrong!
>>
>>1183985
Trim the garbage off. Tape it or heat shrink it. Also stop being a cuck and buying apple products
>>
I use liquid electrical tape for these.

This has very little to do with strain-relief. Apple's cords just..suck. I think it's the porous material. I'm going to try clear coating my next one and see if it improves the longevity.
>>
>>1184042
Or heat shrink tubing...
>>
>>1184564
Heat shrink tubing would have to fit over the plug, which would probably require wrapping the cord anyway as this anon commented >>1184045.
>>

>Reply
cut the section out, re solder the wires and reseal with shrink tube
