| [title] Understanding the wires | |
| [* icon_caution] ***2024.03.04 Warning***: Due to reports and my own experience of failure to achieve 60fps, I believe the SSTX and SSRX pinouts are ''inverted''. I will experiment and update the guide ASAP with any corrections. | |
| + | [* red] 20240310: swapping 10 with 9, and 7 with 6 (polarity reversals) has given me 1080 60fps on Win 10 with Logitech Capture, but now my Linux PC doesn't recognize the camera. |
| [* black] In this guide, a 6-foot USB-3.0 extension cable (female and male type-A plugs) was the donor part. The female plug was cut off with several inches of cable, so that it could be repurposed; the male end and cable is used in this repair. | |
| [* icon_note] [link|https://www.aggsoft.com/usb-pinout-cable/usb3.htm|Researching|new_window=true] USB 3.0 cable wiring, SSRX+ and SSRX- appeared mapped to yellow and blue, respectively. With the donor cable used here, however, continuity testing proved unexpected wire color deviation. SSRX+ and SSRX- as pictured in the accompanying donor cable image yielded a successful camera repair. | |
| [* orange] If the distal USB-C plug of the original cable is the only defect, you may alternatively or preferentially choose to replace it with a USB 3.0 type-C or type-A plug -- rather than replacing the entire cable. You can then retain the sturdy original retention collar and greatly simplify the soldering work. |
