Hi All,

I really want to have a go at making my own USB cable. Can anyone tell me where I can get my hands on the the two connectors for either end of a USB 2.0 cable?

Is this what you are looking for? (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Re-Wireable-USB-Male-Socket-Repair-Kit-Connector-Plug-/390155447910?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Suppl ies_ET&hash=item5ad713ae66)

Possibly even better (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lot-4-USB-plug-Type-A-USB-connector-type-/280660836857?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Suppl ies_ET&hash=item4158b081f9) :lol:

Spot on. Should have thought of checking on ebay. Does it matter too much the quality of connector I wonder.

Looks like its easy enough to get the 'A' connector, but the 'B' connector is another thing altogether.
