Micro usb extension

(1/3) > >>

Metum7:
So I've gotten little pcb boards with a female usb on the end(first link) that I'm planning to wire up to a male micro usb(second link) to plug into the pro micro and create a usb extension basically, but unfortunately, the male usb part is out of stock everywhere I have looked, so the alternative I found was to take apart a micro usb cable to salvage the piece. However, I don't really know how to do this effectively, or which pins would go to with which pins on the female usb pcb. Any suggestions?

USB cables usually obey the standard for the wire colours inside so just cut your cable and match the colours in the pic to the labels on the socket adaptor.  IO is used for USB On The Go so you can leave that disconnected if it's an extension.

Ok thanks!

Actually I just cut my wire open and it only has 2 wires, what does that mean(it is micro usb)

I guess the cable you used was only for charging not data - only red and black wires?
