TP-Link Bluetooth AC1200 Wi-Fi Bluetooth 4.2 PCIe Adapter USB-F Port Cable

A minor modification was made to the Wifi adapter usb-f cable because the PC lacks a USB-F port on the mainboard. Make a loop-back cable using a USB 2.0 male cable, cut and soldered to the USB-F cable and then connect to a PC USB 2.0 port.

This is not a tutorial, rather instructions for basic material and steps to work around a PC without a usb-f port on the mainboard. To modify a USB-A Male cable and the TP-Link included usb-f cable for loop-back connection to a usb port.
