If you have decided to turn the USB charging cable into a charging unit, you should cut off its end. As soon as you cut the cable, you will be able to see a red and a black wire. The red wire is the power supply wire. The black wire will be running parallel to power supply wire.

Now use scissors to cut the USB charging cable’s female end. When you pull back the wire, you will be able to see another set of black and red wires. Consider striping the wires on each cable around two inches of the way down. Connect the red USB wire to the red charging wire and repeat the same for the two black wires i.e twist the black USB wire to the black charging wire. Alternatively, you could choose to join all the wires together but this not a recommended by the manufacturers.

Consider buying some electrical tape if you don’t have some. An electrical tape can be bought from any hardware and electronic stores. Use this tape to cover the exposed wires. You should never leave the wires exposed as this presents a significant danger to your children. Plug the USB cable into a device that uses the USB for charging and plug the charger into a wall socket. Now you can stay connected with your computer at all times.
