As long as your replacement cable can fit in the device it should work just fine. | You can remove the bottom cover and you'll see where the Micro USB cable is plugged in.

+ | ===== Changing the Cable ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some people have asked how to change the cable to a longer or shorter one. Note that we have 3 foot, 6 foot, and 10 foot USB cables and the ones we use will all fit the 8K2 Controller, but other cables may not. If you need a different length get in touch, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Step 1 ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:products:8k2-cable-change-1192.jpg?direct&800|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Remove the four Philpips head screws on the bottom of the unit. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once removed you will see the end of the USB cable plugged into the controller board. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Step 2 ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:products:8k2-cable-change-1194.jpg?direct&800|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Gently lift the cable out of the groove at the end of the enclosure. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Be careful as forcing it may break the USB port off of the board. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Wiggle the cable left and right to get it loose... Again, be gentle while doing so. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Step 3 ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:products:8k2-cable-change-1198.jpg?direct&800|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once you have the cable free from the port you can remove it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Step 4 ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:products:8k2-cable-change-1196.jpg?direct&800|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | With the cable removed you can now insert the replacement. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It may help to bend the cable as shown for insertion. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Step 5 ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:products:8k2-cable-change-1198.jpg?direct&800|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now you'll basically reverse the process. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Gently insert the replacement cable. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Step 6 ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:products:8k2-cable-change-1201.jpg?direct&800|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once the cable is plugged in lay it into the groove in the enclosure. | ||
+ | |||
+ | With the cable in place you can put the bottom cover back on. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Make note of the orientation. The small hole in the cover needs to be over the white reset button on the board. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Make sure to not over-tighten the screws when putting the cover back on. | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | ==== Notes ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Remember to go slow while doing this, and to not force anything.** | ||
