+===== 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.**
