(Note the USB standard helps to identify these [USB-C](https://www.usb.org/usb-type-cr-cable-and-connector-specification), cables that are compliant with the standard will have selected pins according to [cable and connector specification release](https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/USB%20Type-C%202.2%20Release%20202210%20%281%29.zip)). \n\nPlug in your cable to both sides and see which signals light up!\n\n**FOR CABLE USE ONLY. DO NOT EVER PLUG THIS IN TO A DEVICE, THE PINS ON ONE SIDE ARE ALL SHORTED TOGETHER AND THAT COULD BREAK IT!**\n\n![Board Front](img/front.jpg)\n\n![Board Back](img/back.jpg)\n\n## Ordering Pre-made Boards From JLCPCB\nI have added instructions on how to order from JLCPCB in the [ORDERING](ORDERING.md) page.\n\n## Assembly\nWant to build your own? There are two options.\n\n### JLCPCB\nTake a look at the [v2.2 release](https://github.com/alvarop/usb_c_cable_tester/releases/tag/v2.2). There's a file called jlcpcb.zip which you can use to order bare boards or fully assembled ones from [JLCPCB](https://jlcpcb.com/).\n\n### Hand Solder\nFor a hand-solder friendly version with components you can get on Digikey/Mouser, see [the v2.4 release](https://github.com/alvarop/usb_c_cable_tester/releases/tag/v2.4)\n\n## Related Projects!\n@coryalder made a neat [3d printed/laser cut case](https://github.com/coryalder/usb-c-tester-case). Check it out! (But make sure it's for the correct version, since components have changed)\n\n[@foorschtbar@chaos.social](https://mastodon.social/@foorschtbar@chaos.social) made a really nice 3D printed case (multicolor). You can [find it here.](https://www.printables.com/model/1003847-usb-cable-tester-multicolor-case)\n\n## License\nUSB Cable Tester © 2024 by Alvaro Prieto is licensed under CC BY 4.0.
