5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ORICO USB-C cable, please follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tightly coiling or bending the cable at sharp angles, which can damage internal wires.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the cable and connectors. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Handling: Always grasp the connector head when plugging or unplugging the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself. This prevents strain on the connection points.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage to the connectors. Discontinue use if any damage is observed.
