Введение
Apple charging cables, such as the Lightning to USB Cable, are easily prone to fraying. Most commonly, this fraying occurs from device usage while charging. Cables may be subject to extreme angles while charging which causes the outer coating to loosen, tear, and ultimately expose its wiring. Exposed cable wiring is hazardous to both the device and its user, and may cause electrical shorting or even shocking. Repairing a frayed cable with heat shrink is an easy and inexpensive alternative that allows the user to safely charge their device.

Thank you for taking the time to post your pictures and the steps to repair a lightening cord. I plan to do this repair, and also, apply heat shrink to the other end BEFORE that one frays. Thanks!!
I have cables that do not work anymore due to the fraying at the lightning port end. Are there instructions on how to fix this?
The wiring is too intricate, Christine. It’s not worth the time it would take, IMO.

Kills me as I recently fixed 3 separate lighting cables at the power converter end, but took no pictures! You have to razor the seam around the outside of the case, split the case apart by pulling out with pliers in the cord-wrap flap area (careful don’t split it) and then attach a new cord to the solder spots on the circuit board, or just to the wire stubs. Best to just order a replacement cord as these include the little stopper that fits into the case between the halves. If you’re good at solder-joining cables you can just do this and shrink-wrap ‘em, but I prefer to use a little crimp joiner, and then fill the crimp with solder before sliding the shrink-wrap down over it. It’s tricky because the join has to fit a small space inside the case. You can get replacement cords at AliExpress. I use duct-tape to tightly close the case in case of more repairs.
Does this work with plastic straws instead of heat shrink?
