NEW PRODUCTS – DIY USB Cable Parts


If you love DIY cable-rigging, then these USB adapters are right up your alley! Making custom USB cables has never been easier. Just grab one of our ribbon cables, then swap and switch any of our USB adapters on each end using the flex cable clips. There are options a-plenty! And whoo, do we have a lineup!

First up, the Straight Micro B Plug!

We tested out these DIY cable kits with a Circuit Playground and a computer USB port and they worked great, even at the longer ribbon lengths, but note that they are not going to be as durable or shielded as ready-made cables.
