How to OFFICIALLY splice a USB cable

[@callmejackaroo4723]

Years of playing with electronics, building amplifiers... A lot of splicing, & I never thought of soldering wires that way. Love it! Just for the video or not. I think I'm pissed at you for not telling me earlier.

[@MJ-xq4or]

LOL

[@techiteasyaus]

Very useful thanks! I'm really struggling with soldering and when I managed to solder 2 RCA connectors to shorten an audio cable after 45 minutes that was a major victory! My aim is to make my TV/Audio cabinet as tidy as possible by using cables at the exact size. So lots of cutting and soldering in perspective. The tips in this video should make the task easier ... hopefully!

[@itwsntme]

Thanks for this. Funny that I was looking for information about shortening a usb cable because I'm in the exact same situation you were here. Project involving a raspberry pi and a custom designed case I 3D printed. Exactly what I needed.

DUDE KEEP POSTING VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!! Love this stuff. Its great to have a hands on guy show us how to do things.

[@mikeharmon7299]

hey brother..I have been a "mad scientist" since i was ten and broke my first digital watch(45 years ago lol) great to find your channel

[@heatedheavy407]

I’m 9 seconds into the video.I hear Bishop Bullwinkle and then noticed the channel name, instant subscribe lol

[@robertjohns9543]

If you stagger the splices the finished splice is slimmer and less likely to short.

[@thangknowa3288]

Yep, that's how I do it.

[@roberth5435]

And if you can find some thin thin thin aluminum foil, wrap it around before you shrink the jacket.

"That's what she said," made me LOL

[@slodown3670]

Excellent, clear description. Many thanks!

[@JFromAcc]

Excellent video, especially for first try. Just what I needed.

perfect theme song

[@johnny58435]

Can I plug Red cable to VCC and white to RX2 and green to TX2 and black to gnd? My PCB have VCC,GND,RX2,TX2 Can I used it for arcade Button? Please advice

[@harpergeare]

Nice video thanks

[@MurchyMurch]

Solder God

[@red2965]

Gonna have to get some of that extra flux stufz bcause I burn them trying to tack it to mini connect yes I did pre tin. But I don't leave myself enough to hang on lol. Nice vid all in all

[@Josef_R]

I want to add a USB plug to a two strand led strip, any idea which two wires in the USB plug to use?

[@louspowels7120]

8:34 Well that was a lie.

[@lyricscann]

Hi there! Not exactly the same topic however I wondered if one could splice a usb cord with a lamp wire or even add it directly to a lightbulb socket to be able to power an LED bulb?

[@crashingdrones9986]

Nice!

[@DrMatthewHudson]

I just checked with both US national office and the Korean Republic office and both claim this is not the official way

[@gaetanolamberti5723]

Can you splice a type c male to an hdmi male ?

[@cinlung]

Hi, I have a USB cable that I want to replace its connector to USB Type C. My Connecor has 4 pins like the usual, but the cable came with 5 cables, red, black, green, white, and blue. The cable was direcly soldered into a keyboard board and the blue one goes to S (Shield). Now If i want to connect the cable to a USB C connector, where should I connect the shield to? Is it to the connector feet that connects to the metal body? Thank you

[@poly-pheme]

hi, did you ever got an answer for this? I'm facing a similar situation.

[@cjose9317]

My dash cam mini usb wire has only two colours. Black and white. When I spliced Black with Black and White with Red to another data USB cable to get a power extension, it only gives a flickering screen. (Did not test it for volt. USB data has green, red, grey and white) What is the case when power USB wire has only Black and White wire as explained above? Thanks in advance.

[@jasonbaldini]

If you only had the two, white and black I would black (mini) to red, white (mini) to black, but sounds like a cheap cable, if you need to modify a mini, get a good standard mini and go from there, what do they cost a dollar even with Bidenomics, I wouldn't mess with a custom, but when I say a good, I mean full range mini.

[@IamSeal]

very helpfull! Thanks! 😊

[@prototype715]

I would cut away the aluminum braid and just splice the copper shield lead.

[@kleptodathief3946]

can u splice it and twist it and use electrical tape to put it back instead of soldering? thx

[@hull_k0gan641]

I’m sure. Connection will likely be garbage though.

[@red2965]

Makes a better connection if to soldier it. The glue on tape tends to make a mess of things in the long run. Heat shrink is the way to go for low voltage wiring.

[@parakhgavel981]

Great

Lol intro

[@tonydebreceni8966]

To much background noise

[@haruhara9889]

So I thought the metal shielding was just a protective layer, is it actually supposed to be conductive?

[@viperflyer]

Exactly. Shielding is there to reduce interfering electro-magnetic noise. You just rewrap it around all the wires, mainly 2 data cables.

[@mn12sc35th]

It's usually grounded somewhere in order to send unwanted interference back to ground.

[@naamangeist7843]

So, basically you just taught us how to splice 4 wires. I learned nothing about USB-specific info at all.

[@JohnSmith-zw6tr]

“That’s what she said?” I had respect for you UP TO YOU said one the top 10 most ignorant comments ever coined lol! That phrase is decades old, and wasn’t fun then; much less now. Grow up, and try to employ actual HUMOR instead of continuing to spread the ignorance.

[@laurenrector93]

Or you can stop being a Karen

[@Syranovæ]

You must be fun at parties.

[@dennisp6337]

John got his panties in a bunch over an internet comment!

[@red2965]

Somebody lost they big (/) panties

[@brandondalton113]

You're such a clown. Holy shit
