I have made some research and it turns out it's better to use shielded cable, such as UL2547. The shielding is supposed to have contact with the metal "cages", which are placed around the connectors in this video. Such practice would prevent the cable from working as antenna and spreading electromagnetic interference.

Instead of removing the yarn string (core) out first, you could just tie one end of it to the paracord and as you pull out the yarn it will pull in the cable. Makes the process a lot faster and easier.

You are wise. definitely will work and save time. If the cable just barely fits, that is all the more reason why you will need to pull it through. Similar to how electricians pull cables through conduits. This technique would be mandatory in a longer run. You have to pull it through and that yard core is very strong.

Another quality video. Truly one of the most underrated channels, keep up the good work!

i like your use of that clip for soldering the wires to the usb pinouts. i'm gonna have to do that from now on. always felt awkward trying to use helping hands on their own

Don't be afraid of putting enough flux paste/gel on the pins before soldering tinned wires to them. Blips/bumps will look much better. Otherwise the oxydation does its job and it is difficult to solder.

I show the intro to my uncle who use to film everything on vhs, and he didn't get it.. great video and even better intro!

Quality video. I just got some parts in for my first cables and I was wondering if one would use a crimping tool for the connector but this is yet another video in which the maker just used pliers. I guess that's sufficient then.

Great video. I would use an Ohm meter to check continuity between the cable ends before plugging it into anything. Only takes a couple minutes and there's no risk.

Hey! first, thank you for this very detailled and well filmed instruction! One question, would you recommend using exactly this parts, also for a coiled cable? I'm not sure about the thickness of the cable but these seem to be the standard right?

Thanks for the video, I have been trying to create a C-C cable for my macbook. Seems like my usb-c connectors not the right one as it does absolutely nothing Both 5.1k resistor and 56k ohm resistor type connector is fine? was not clear for me from the video. I would appreciate if u could tell something about this.

@fizo can you go into detail about the note mentioned that said a 56k ohm resistor would be necessary in between pins 2 and 3 for the usb C soldering job. I'm thinking that is an important detail that nobody fully understood. Do you buy it with the resistor pre installed? What is the purpose of it and what are the purchasing options, or when do we need it? Did your cable have one? Sorry if this has been discussed already or if some of my facts are wrong.

great video! btw what is that headphones at the start of the video?

Hi! The quality of your video as well as your craftsmanship is just topnotch. You probably don't mess with macbooks, but could you make a video for the mag safe 2 chargers? They are notorious for terrible quality and breaking apart after a few years...

You might have to heat the cable more or longer. Anyway, if you have reverse coiled already. I suggest to reverse it again, which is technically brings it back to normal, coil it back into the tube, heat the cable again, let it cool and then do the reverse coil. :) HTH.

as long as you dont mix up your power and data wires you should be okay... you want to aim for a 90 Ohm imppendence for USB, you can test this with an ohm meter (usually a mode on your voltmeter) but if its outside that range it shouldnt damage your keyboard i imagine it would just not work right

Unfortunately this is no USB cable as it is clearly out of spec, especially regarding the lack of shielding and drain wire. A quote from the USB 2.0 Spec (Rev. 2.0) says "Cable construction must contain a braided outer shield and a metallic inner shield. A drain wire of 28 AWG must be incontact with both shields" Furthermore, a USB Type-C to USB 2.0 Standard-A Cable Assembly shall have (according to 3.5.2, Note 5 of USB Type C Spec Rev. 2.2) shall have "Shield and GND grounds [...] connected within the USB Type-C and USB 2.0 Standard-A plugs on both ends of the cable assembly"
