Do you mean combining various flavours of cable into a single loom? If so, Canford (among others) sell a load of various types of braided looming sleeves, with velcro/zips/ties options to wrap the assembly together.
If you mean actually soldering/crimping ends onto bulk cable: unless you’re making very specific lengths for a very specific reason, then don’t bother. Crimping BNC is easy enough, but the tool and proper dies for Neutrik connectors is very expensive. HDMI is way too pin-dense to DIY reliably.

i know a guy in glasgow who does this. Interested?

Yes but not for pc which I think must require more specialist crimping tools to connect the cables to the connectors.

Anyone make their own cables? I'd like some custom braided HDMI and SDI/BNC for video (plus other bits like timecode/power/audio etc).
There used to be a camera assistant I found on Instagram but he's stopped doing it. I'll likely need lots of cables over the next year so I wondered how much investment of time/equipment was needed?
