As someone who likes to make their own cables as a fun activity... Where could one aquire those connectors?

There are similar ones on AliExpress, although they're not quite as nice. The search is kind of broken though, so you might be looking for a while. Maybe search for "usb connector shell" or something similar.

thanks Ill take a look. I usually like straight cables with aviator or LEMO connectors the most so those would add a bit more character to those cables haha.

Yeah, I've also considered getting them, but haven't gotten myself to spend the extra money on them or LEMO connectors yet, so it's only been the regular shrink-wrapped usb c connectors and gx12s for me so far lol Though I did get some electroplated aviator connectors from AliExpress and they were nicer than expected

As a camera operator and someone who makes cables for film, I have a drawer full or random Lemo connectors from 0B to 2B sizes and different PIN numbers. It’s fun.

All available on Ali Express.

I cannot find any that have a plastic shield for an LED ring... Probably my search query is bad... Do you have a link or a good search query?

You can't post Ali Express links in here, but Qwerky is right... i just found all of these on AliExpress, including that LED one.

It’s a restriction site wide on Reddit unfortunately, some moderators on other subreddits have actually been permanently suspended by Reddit admins for posting or approving those links.

I just thought it was here. Thanks.

Wow... I'm sorry I asked. Didn't want to cause any trouble.

Thanks for clarification, it always bugged me why so many subs forbid that
Omnias-42 t1_j63s77v wrote
Yeah even in the aliexpress subreddit they don’t post links because of this
highchillerdeluxe t1_j62s2r9 wrote
I didnt know that. I'm sorry I asked... Could you please provide me a better search query than? Because "usb housing led", "usb connector housing light", or similar doesn't bring up anything. Actually I only found one item thanks to Google at rncables but nothing on aliexpress.
If that's also not allowed, just ignore my post please! >!!<
