My bike has a USB-C socket hidden behind the right fairing panel .

The idea is to plug in a cable and then replace the panel, routing the cable through the slot on the left side.

As I won’t be using my phone much with the bike I’d ideally like a 30cm extension cable with a waterproof cap which I can cable tie neatly to the centre stay of the fairing and then when needed simply plug in another 30cm cable from this extender to my phone.

But I can’t find anything .

The nearest is this

But I don’t want the bulk of the threaded bit.Just a female USB -C with a cap on it .

I’ve searched online but have drawn a blank .

Ta muchly
 
You could get a normal extension type cable and simply enclose the end with a makeshift waterproof box/cap.

Alternatively, there are options for caps to cover the end using 3d printers (if you know someone) or can buy some;

Thanks.

I think the cap option may be the easiest ….
