Using this cable is easy. Just connect it to your Raspberry Pi Model B as you would with a regular cable. But remember, it won't work with the Raspberry Pi Model B+. The strain - relief clips on the cable make it more durable, but they can also be a problem if you want to put the cable in an enclosure. If that's the case, you can carefully use diagonal cutters to remove the top clips. As for maintenance, keep the cable away from sharp objects to avoid cuts. If it gets dirty, you can use a dry cloth to wipe it clean. With proper use and care, this cable will serve you well for a long time.
