Be careful with this. I have a bunch of cables like that and with enough cable
usage the heat strink will slide down when pulling the cable out of a jack. The
heat strink would probably have to come down infront of the plug to help
prevent that, but then who knows how well it will seat in the jack, not to
mention that you won't be able to open up the plug to fix it if needed without
destroying the heat shrink.

I could be wrong, but that sounds like typical ugly cloth guitar cable. When
will somebody provide glow-in-the-dark patchcords? I think Horizon makes GID
cable.
