DO IT YOURSELF – DIY USB Cable Kit !
Have some fun making your own diy usb cable kit !
This kit contains everything you need to make your (first ?) custom cable with or without a connector, the choice is yours !
This DIY USB Keyboard Cable Kit contains:
- Paracord 550
- Techflex
- USB 2.0 cable, 4 cores, double shielding (cut to the length of your choice*)
- 2 USB connectors
- 4 pieces of Heatshrink
- Connector (if selected*)

– Here are the sizes for the coil (if you want to make one) :
| You want : | With : | You will need (approximately): |
| 10cm (~4in) coil | a tube of (3/8) = 0.9mm | 110cm (~3.6ft) of cable |
| 10cm (~4in) coil | a tube of (1/2) = 12.7 mm | 120cm (~4ft) of cable |
| 15cm (~6in) coil | a tube of (3/8) = 0.9mm | 150cm (~5ft) of cable |
| 15cm (~6in) coil | a tube of (1/2) = 12.7 mm | 180cm (~6ft) of cable |
| 15cm (~6in) coil | a tube of (9/16) = 15mm | 210cm (~7ft) of cable |
| 20cm (~8in) coil | a tube of (3/8) = 0.9mm | 170cm (~5.5ft) of cable |
| 20cm (~8in) coil | a tube of (1/2) = 12.7 mm | 220cm (~7.2ft) of cable |
| 20cm (~8in) coil | a tube of (9/16) = 15mm | 280cm (~9.2ft) of cable |
– In this diy usb cable kit, the USB cable will be delivered in one length so if you plan to make a 15cm coil (small) take at least 2.7 meters,
(150 cm [5ft] for the coil and 120 cm [4ft] [your choice] for the cable to the pc [Host]).
– I recommend you to choose the ”USB Device & Host Rescue Kit” and ”Heathrink Rescue Kit” if it is your first cable (so you have spares in case).
– To see the colors go to the ”Color Chart” page to give you an idea. [If you have a doubt on the choice of color contact me in private on discord or on social networks so that I send you a photo of the desired combination]
Are the components of high quality ?
Of course ! First of all, it allows to get a better connectivity. Thus reducing the risk of involuntary disconnection or simply during multiple manipulations.
A good choice of components is therefore very important.
But one thing is for sure, it can be quite complicated to know which piece(s) is of good quality or not.
On my shop you don’t have to worry about that, since i have selected the best in terms of quality !
(On top of that these are the components that i personally use to make all the cables).
What materials do I need to make my custom usb cable ?
Several tools, but mainly a soldering iron and what you need with it. A pair of cutting pliers and a heat gun are necessary.
I also recommend other tools for a better ergonomy, you can find all tools that i personally use in this video tutorial :
Don’t forget ! If you need something in particular, go to DIY USB Cable Parts.
You’ll find everything you need for connectors. (gx16, gx12, yc8, lemos like) or (USB C, USB A) Heatshrink 3:1, and more…
