Using these DIY USB cable parts is easy. First, choose a ribbon cable from our shop. Then, use the flex cable clips to attach the right - angle Micro B plug (facing down) at one end or both ends of the ribbon cable. You can also swap it with other adapters we offer to create your custom cable. When using, note that these DIY cables are not as durable or shielded as ready - made ones. So, handle them gently to avoid damage. As for maintenance, keep the cables away from moisture and extreme temperatures. If the cable parts get dirty, you can use a dry cloth to wipe them clean.
