In search of a cheap usb A fly lead

Jun 01, 2005 5 Replies

Hello all.



I am in search of lead with an USB A plug on one end and bare wires on the other length not very important. I need about 10 of these. I can get a usb A to usb A cable for about $5 and think that just cutting it in half will be fine. Has anyone got other sources/ideas?



Cheers



Mike

You are unlikely to find a cheaper solution.

"mikegw" while reading the NewsGroups, found courage and express out opinion in news:d7jfsb$2up$ snipped-for-privacy@tomahawk.unsw.edu.au:

Just buy the plugs from Jaycar.

Will definitely cost more than $2.50 with 1 metre of suitable cable. Not to mention time to terminate.

Buy a 2 Metre USB A-A cable and cut in half if you want 1 Metre leads. (obviously a 5 metre cable will give you 2 * 2.5 metre leads for a few more $)

You just cannot beat mass production these days. Besides my local jaycar must go through a pack of AA's each day running all their farting toys. It makes it hard to think why you went into the shop. JR Turk seems more my speed for tools and wire these days.
