TIP: before yanking out the inner strands of the paracord, tie 1 of them to the end of the wire you’re about to put thru the paracord shell. Electricians do this with wires all the time. When you pull the strands out, your wire will be pulled in. Simple.

@randykasper60313 жыл бұрын
Love it. Only thing I see is with the excessive amount of solder used on each cup, you should have each wire have heat shrink covering each exposed joint so you don’t get an ark inside your connector. Love the outcome though. Looks great! Other thing I noticed, you weren’t using any flux. You had flux core wire, but every time you reflowed, you needed more flux. Plus having flux when you were tinning your wires would have made the process go so much smoother and no solder spikes. Alcohol cleans everything just fine. Acetone can degrade the pvc pretty dramatically also.

So, for a few dollars and dealing with a heavy connector in the cord, you have a working power cable that will probably outlast a new Apple cord...but it's a lot of work and skill required to solder such small wires. I just bought 10 2M cables from Aliexpress for $10 but I have to wait a few weeks for the new cords...but they do not have a heavy connector in them.

It's interesting, but for a few notes. 1) I worked for a while in an IPhone/iPad call center. Of the 50 agents, only one owned an iPhone. We all knew how clumsy, expensive and stupid Apple products are. Three iOS updates and angry customers cured me forever from Apple Malaria. The Lightning Connector is the ultimate stupidity of the Apple line. 2) What is this "keyboard community" about? Screwing up a working USB keyboard connector with MilSpec metal connectors is pointless, unless your computing life is mixed with a fantasy about helping the Autobots fight the Deceptions. I compute in the real world, not in fanfic. 3) I liked the idea of using Paracord to strengthen a cable, but you didn't make it clear that the outer purple sheath was ALSO Paracord! For a moment, I thought this was some expensive junk you had to pay our Chinese Overlords a fortune for, with a three month wait for delivery.
