Cut the connector that connects to the iPod on the broken iPod USB cable. This connector is the end of the iPod USB that connects directly to the iPod, not to the computer. Leave about one inch of cable connected to the connector.
Strip one inch of the plastic covering from the standard USB cable with a wire stripper or with the scissors. Be careful not to cut the cable wires. Strip the plastic off. Inside the cable, you'll find five wires: black, red, white, green and unprotected.
Strip one inch of cable from the iPod connector you cut off the broken iPod USB cable in the same fashion that you stripped the standard USB cable.
If the USB cable for an iPod malfunctions, the wires within the cable may have snapped. One easy and inexpensive solution for this problem is to make a new USB cable for the iPod instead of purchasing a special iPod USB cable. Create the iPod USB cable by rewiring the iPod connector from the broken USB cable.
