Dell Dock D6000 Replacement cable
Hi guys,
Long story short, my cat somehow got on my desk, and chewed the USB C cable coming off my Dell D6000 Dock. Now I know this is not under warranty, so I wanted to find a way to replace this cable. Opening the dock reveals a USB C port inside, I've tried several USB C cables I had, but none work. So I'm guessing that this cable is a bit different. I was wondering if it's possible to buy the cable, or if there is an alternative I can use.

I messed up the Oshpark one, so I removed it.I have a KiCAD project here: https://github.com/kevinhikaruevans/dell-d6000-usb-c-adapter
I tested this initially and it worked. But it's a huge pain to solder up, so I increased the pad size and I'm waiting for the new versions to ship.

Why not have the USB Type-C port immediately exit the dock with the case closed? A new hole could be added to the housing side with a dremel and then any USB-C cable could be used without having to reopen the dock. I am interested in one of these once available. How much are the boards costing to be produced? Like to get a total cost to build one of these or your cost if you plan to sell these pre-assembled.

Greetings from Spain!
Over here another D6000 dockstation with a broken USB-C connector. Since there is no replacement for this cable, I have decided to replace the damaged connector with a new one. I have experience in electronic soldering and it is not complicated. The connector to use is a 24-pin USB C 3.1. I have bought these:This reference to replace the damaged USB:

A good alternative for the people of the USA:
As soon as I get the connectors and I mount it, I comment on my results.
Regards!

After a few attempts I find the correct reference connector for the D6000 dockstation:
https://es.aliexpress.com/item/4000529307352.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3da263c0WhcRme
This connector fits perfectly on the pcb at the end of the cable. Only 2 pins are not used at one side. The dimensions are exactly like the original and fits perfect on the usb cover housing.
After check works fine you can use a glue like B-7000 for the cover. Let dry almost 24 h.
Best regards

Same here. Why can we not buy this at support from Dell or Bizlink Technologies (that make them).
