  • Learn how I made an iPhone (Lightning) Cable for myself. Making cables is a great way to make the cables you need when you need. I hope this video helps some of you out there.
    Disclaimer: Build at your own risk. With any cables used for charging there may be some higher risks for higher powered devices.

    For those that don't want to use JB Weld, I've been messing with making some of my own for a few months before this video came out and I've found that a little gorilla glue or loctite on just the white end holds up pretty well for all the cables that I've made thus far!

      If you’re trying to make a quick charge cable, shorter is always better and look for a smaller AWG (thicker) wire that’ll still be able to fit on the solder pads.

    This has been on my mind for a while now so I appreciate you sharing! My dream is to make a proper functional usb-c to usb-c cable. Apparently you need special “host” configurations on one end if you want a proper charge and I haven’t yet been able to figure it out!

      i'm planning on doing a video on usb-c to usb-c cables some time next month. There's an addition resistor needed on the USB-C host connector for it to work properly.

    No cable strain relief on the lightning side? Granted, the connector does not exactly have any built-in means for it, but wouldn't it be better to epoxy the outer cable sleeving to the connector housing as well?

    Hey Josh! Thank you for the videos; they're so great! With your help I completed a USB-A to USB-C cable!
    Going to buy a bunch of Lightning Connectors now.
    I notice at 3:28 that the wires aren't pre-stripped. Are you using the pre-tinning to melt the sleeving? That way there would be a decrease the exposed cable on a small connector? or can I just not see that they're pre-stripped?

    Hey josh! I had a quick question I’ve made a few of the lightning cables from the diy parts on your website and I came across one that won’t do data but only power. So if I plug it into my desktop it won’t charge or sync same with my car play in my vehicle. But into the wall it charges just fine. Was it a soldering issue or a bad connector?

    (1) I now it's been quite a while since your original post, but do you happen to know of any other sources for the lightning connector, or similar? The one you noted is out of stock.
    (2) I want to repair one of my 10' aftermarket lightning connectors, but it has five wires, including the ground soldered to the connector's metal jacket. Any idea on that?? I don't think I can get it's own connector board separated because the internal metal jacket has been 'pressed' installed .
