5It's a good cable but make sure that THIS is what you needAug 19, 2009
By A. Dent "Aragorn"
This is the most common USB cable these days for connecting 'something' to your computer but... beware of the 'Micro-B vs. Mini-B' interface confusion (read below).

On this specific cable, everything is done right, including the price. It is USB 2.0 certified, meaning that it supports data transfer rates of up to 480Mbps and, if your device accepts a Mini-B plug, this is the cable to get. Maybe the 2-meter length (6+ ft.) is a little bit too much but it does not bother me a lot and there may come a time when a cable this long may come in handy.

I am awarding this item 5 stars for price and quality - there's nothing to complain. However, I suggest that you look around before you place the order because you just might have one of these already as they tend to ship with many electronic gadgets these days.

______________________________________________

Notes:

Anyone in the market for a USB cable should be very careful because there are at least 6 kinds of USB connectors. If you are buying a cable that connects 'something' to your computer or laptop, the computer end of the cable will always be a USB-A or 'Type A' connector. At the other end, you may have a USB-B/Type B - a nearly square shaped connector used mostly to deliver power to a device but this is rare. Most likely, you will have a Mini-B or a Micro-B. The difference between the 2 is that the Micro-B is half as thick while the width is the same - Mini-B is 3x7mm while Micro-B is 1.5x7mm.

If your device (phone, PDA, camera) is a 'new' one and it's using USB, chances are that they will need a Micro-B connector because the industry seems to be adopting the 'Micro' form factor as its standard. If the above sounds simple, you should keep in mind that some devices require Mini-AB or Micro-AB connectors, also known as USB OTG (OnTheGo) devices.

My advice: before ordering any cable, make sure that you clearly understand what type of cable you need.

Whenever in doubt, do some more research and keep in mind that the 'Micro-B' (very small) is the emerging standard and it's likely to be found on the newer and smaller gadgets - phones, cameras, etc. but, before it we had the 'Mini-B' (this specific cable) so the older devices will need the 'Mini'.

5good cable, no need to pay for some brandnameMar 28, 2008
By CS
I use these cables for connecting MP3 devices and such, and also for connecting my Razr cellphone, using the Motorola Phone Tools software on my computer. (Note that for the latter purpose, you can actually use Bluetooth if you want to, and have the capability on your computer.)

Cable works perfectly, no problems or hassles. Construction quality is good. This is pretty basic technology after all.

2Useless with external hard drives; Okay for charging ps3 controller.Apr 19, 2010
By Vignesh Sivakumar "Surfer of the boundless spaceways"
I ordered this 'cos price was low. Tried connecting a Western Digital Elements 500gb portable hard disk and a 120gb hitachi 2.5 inch sata hard disk in an Acomdata Tango enclosure to my laptop using this. Connection is not at all stable. It connects and then disconnects immediately and then connects again and on and on. If left connected it'll probably damage the external hard drive. So right now, I'm using it only for charging my PS3 controller. Seems to be good for that. Hence the 2 stars.

1Won't work with powered USB devices, unlike similar cablesMay 19, 2011
By Randall Munroe
I have three or four mini-usb devices I use/travel with a lot, and I keep losing cables, so I bought four of these. Unfortunately, they won't work with most of my mini-USB devices. They work fine with my Wacom tablet, but not with my scanner (which takes mini-USB) or digital camera (which shows up as a device, but won't transfer files). I gather I need a mini-USB cable that can carry more power, but it's not indicated anywhere on any of the pages how well a cable will do this.

I have some thin, flimsy cables that work fine, so I really don't know how to tell which cables will work and which won't. I'm at a loss for what to buy.

1Dont buy for powered devicesNov 26, 2010
By nils
this cable is too light-weight to carry enough power to the USB drive. If you need to power a device this is probably not the one.
