    • When organizing or storing the cable, avoid wrapping it too tightly. Instead, loosely coil the cable in wide loops to preserve its integrity.
  3. Refrain from tugging or twisting
    • Avoid holding the cable while disconnecting it from any connector or while carrying the dock from one place to another. This practice prevents potential damage to the cable and connectors.
