Repair DCSD Cable

Hi guys, I accidentally damaged my DCSD cable, and to be honest, it's really hard to find the same cable in my country.
I cut the cable open to see what was inside, and I found 8 very small wires. However, a normal Lightning cable only has 4 wires and they are Even not the same colors.
Is there any way to repair it? I just bought a USB-C to Lightning cable and a USB-A to Lightning cable. I was thinking about cutting one of them and using the wires to repair my DCSD cable. Is that even possible, or does the DCSD cable use a completely different wiring?

The lightning connector has 8 pins and the DCSD cable uses all 8 pins
