DIY USB cable materials
« on: Sun, 22 January 2017, 18:37:56 »

Not sure if this is the right sub-forum, but does anyone know of a good distributor for raw USB cables and connectors?  I have purchased kits and what not in the past from places like 1UP, but you are obviously paying a premium in those circumstances.  Could be solderless connectors or the regular kind.  Heat shrink is easy enough to find, but it is a jungle out there just looking for other parts.

Any point in the right direction would be appreciated!

i ordered all my connectors from aliexpress. As for the cable itself, the only place i've found that sells it in bulk is i'm sure the same place you found.

I ordered my connectors from taobao and paracord sleeves from paracordplanet. Just put USB DIY or something similar in the search box and you will see plenty of options.
