Ancient 5.25" floppy drives had different connectors, but such floppy cables are very rare nowadays (and usually they have a 3.5"-style connector as well, so you can cut away the end of the cable).
Many of the PC floppy cables are also longer, which may cause some mechanical difficulties. |

If you have the original Amiga floppy drive, just use the section of cable before the twist.

The Amiga floppy drive cable is a straight through cable with no twist also known as a "B" drive cable.
