USB wiring help

[Pi31415]

I did a oopsy and spliced off the usb male connection off of my usb to Ethernet adapter. Now I know that the adapter is cheap and could buy one off of eBay for 2 dollars but the thing is, I don’t have 2 dollars... So I need to help, I have a usb male to usb male 2.0 wire and I’m wondering if I would desolder the wire off of the adapter and put the new wire on, would it work as long as it has all the wires? And also can someone link me a pinout so I know what I’m doing, I’d really appreciate it if it was color coded too since I’m pretty retarded when it comes to this. Thanks!

Yes it'll work if you connect it right. But are you any good at soldering? Biggest risk is probably frying components if you're soldering to the board. If you're just extending chopped wires then that shouldn't be a problem.

If you need something regarding how to wire the USB connector to the converter itself, we'd need to see the PCB of the converter to get an idea what goes where because it's very likely a pinout for what you have is not available.
