How to Make a Male to Male USB Cable

Fixing your modem and/or updating the firmware is quite hard but is harder without the materials needed to do the job. Without the USB cable it is impossible to update the firmware. We need a male to male type of USB cable. Since this cable is not commonly used, some are having difficulties in finding one. Do you know that you can actually provide one without spending a single penny from your pocket? Do you know that you can build it for yourself from recycled materials on your home? 

Things needed:

1. Cutter

2. Insulating materials (electric tape or heat shrink tubing)

3. 2 pcs broken cellphone charger.

Just refer to image below and you know now what to do.

Instruction:

1. Cut the USB cable and remove the outer insulation until four (4) small wires are exposed. There should be 4 wires according to their colors. Black, red, white and green.

2. Strip down the tip of every small wire until the copper wire are exposed. Do this on both cables.

3. Connect the copper wires of the small wires according to their color.

4. Insulate all exposed copper wires using electrical tape or heat tubing.

5. Your male to male usb cable is now ready to use.
