As long as you get the orientation of the connectors and cable right,
(note, I’m using the 16 pin variant and the connectors are shown prior to adding the guards)
you can make usefull cables at home on a budget using a vise or some pliers to crimp the connectors. I’ve made lots and lots of cables so far and have been using them after running them all through a DIY cable tester without any problems so far…
