Maintenance and Care

Storage: Store the cable in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Avoid tightly coiling or bending the cable at sharp angles to prevent internal damage.
Cleaning: If the cable becomes dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Handling: Always grasp the connector ends when plugging or unplugging the cable. Avoid pulling directly on the cable itself, as this can damage the internal wires or strain relief.
