It's a good cable but make sure that THIS is what you need
By A. Dent
This is the most mutual USB cable these days for connecting 'something' to your computer but... beware of the 'Micro-B vs. Mini-B' interface confusedness (read below).

On this specific cable, everything is done right, including the price. It is USB 2.0 certified, meaning that it supports info 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 not one thing 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 a good deal of electronic widgets these days.

______________________________________________

Notes:

Anyone in the market for a USB cable ought to 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 closely square shaped connector applied for the most part to deliver power to a device but this is rare. Most likely, you will have a Mini-B or a Micro-B. The divergence among 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, prospects are that they will need a Micro-B connector because the industry seems to be adopting the 'Micro' form factor as it is standard. If the above sounds simple, you ought to keep in mind that a lot of gimmicks require Mini-AB or Micro-AB connectors, likewise known as USB OTG (OnTheGo) devices.

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

Whenever in doubt, do a lot of more exploration and keep in mind that the 'Micro-B' (very small) is the emergent popular and it's likely to be found on the newer and littler appliances - phones, cameras, etc. but, before it we had the 'Mini-B' (this specific cable) so the older gimmicks will need the 'Mini'.

good cable, no need to pay for a heap of brandname
By CS
I use these cables for connecting MP3 gimmicks 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 may genuinely use Bluetooth if you want to, and have the capability on your computer.)

Cable works perfectly, no difficulties or hassles. Construction quality is good. This is gorgeous basic engineering science after all.

Useless with external hard drives; Okay for charging ps3 controller.
By Vignesh Sivakumar
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 without delay and then connects again and on and on. If left connected it'll probably harm 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.
