Why are there 8 cables in that Lightning extension?
I'm looking at a Lightning extension cable (with a female plug on one end and a male plug on the other) .
I would like to solder it to a standard Lightning cable (the 8 pin plug) which has 4 cables in it.
But if you look at the photo of the extension, there are 8 cables, in the following order:
black - white - green - yellow - red - purple - orange - blue
The standard 8-pin has 4 cables: gray - green - white - brown
It seems I have to solder every pair of cables from the extenion, to one cable from the 8-pin end.
But which combinations of colors should it be?
Ist dies eine gute Frage?
Ok I have more of a add on question
so the new iPhone has type C… I have a lighting port style sd card reader is like to clip the plug off and solder to a type c male plug on. But every type c end I clip only has 4 wires but lightning has 8.. how do I convert? Or which wires combine?

@slonik49280 - Get a USB-A to USB-C adapter, then just plug in the USB-A cable end of the lighting cable. Don’t try to breakout the wiring as it’s not that simple.
