The key to what you are after is something that when it brushes against
itself or anything else, or is bent, it makes no noise. That's a pretty
soft material that you need. Hard to tell on this one, but I think it's
going to turn out to be too noisy. That predicted on the basis of the
material it's made of and the size and smoothness of the fibers.
Protection of the cable inside or bundling multiple cables is definitely
a secondary property to noise suppression in this application.
