The wire looks great in the picture, it's hard plastic not silicone and is very thin so cutting the connector and direct soldering a work is so thin judging by the wire, mine came to the camera with this black material which was difficult to resolder, the canopy is white and will get dirty, they just don't sell the canopy separately or a different color, no airflow , my AIO keeps heating up . Looks like the Runcam Nano 3 and Mobula 6 canopy will be next.
