Using these DIY USB cable parts is easy. First, choose a ribbon cable. Then, use the flex cable clips to attach the USB Right Angle Micro B Plug Up at one or both ends of the ribbon cable. You can swap and change different adapters as you like. When using, keep in mind that these DIY cables aren't as durable or shielded as ready - made ones, so handle them with care. Don't pull or bend them too harshly. As for maintenance, store them in a dry and clean place when not in use. If the flex cable clips get dirty, you can gently clean them with a soft cloth.
