After buying OTG cables from Amazon and eBay and having to wait for them to be shipped from China, with some not even working when they arrived, I've been looking for a good place to order cables from that isn't South-East Asia. I've been getting cables from Monoprice for awhile and love their quality and prices, and I finally found they had OTG cables for sale. I never realized they were selling OTG cables since they were buried under the "Cell Phone Accessories > MHL Adapters" sub-catagories for some reason, which makes no logical sense.
The cable is actually 6 1/2 inches, which is a whole inch longer than any other cables I have. All in all they work well
They cost $1.43, with Shipping&Handling being between $1.50-$2 to the US, and Shipping to Canada is between $3-$4. International Shipping prices are very expensive so I don't recommend Monoprice for anybody in any other countries other than the US and Canada.
You can find the cable at the following url:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?p_id=9724
Just thought I'd let people know of a good reliable place to get OTG cables from.
Thanks for the info
Thanks japzone. Just bought one. Monoprice is one of my favorite go-to places but I didn't think to look there. Thanks again for the info.

hey guy do you know what place that sells cheap micro usb cable for hd2? thanks:
eBay. You can get em for like 2 bucks.
You can also get cheap, quality cables at monoprice.com
Buy.com & also Amazon has really good ones, and if you have a Prime account (for regular internet buyers) shipping is normally free.
I use monoprice for all my cables (HDMI, DVI, USB etc.)and have never had a bad experience.

Depening on if you ahve any mini-usb cables they make an adapter from ini to micro. only a couple dollars.
Also check C/L. I found one for $5, Ebay charged $1 + $3 shipping for the same thing.
Having looked at a number of UK websites, only one said a USB cable came with the charger. I had been planning on buying an OEM 2 amp charger. Then I saw Clove were saying it came with a spare USB cable so the price of £24.99 didn't seem so bad any more. Got it on Friday and, yes, it did have a USB cable in the pack.
Tried it in my car runing Co-Pilot sat nav and my battery indicator showed that the charge was still going up so I am very pleasedwith it.
Only slightly disappointing thing is that the charger has only one output whereas some of the OEM ones have two, one 2 amp and one 1 amp. However, I tried it with my charger splitter and it still showed the charge was going up.
most cheap usb car charges have a screwable top; just take out the glass fuse and replace it with a 2amp/2000mA fuse which you can get at autozone, radio shack,home depot....pretty much anywhere
Really? if i just change the glass fuse i can use any usb car charge?
Is not dangerous for the electric impiant of the car?
No You can't. It is not the fuse that decides how much current the charger can give.
The fuse just protects the charger from blowing if something fails.
The regulator used in the charger sets the charging current.
true you can buy a regulator at radio shack. i've seen the 7805 for about a buck 50.
Ok, tnx guy!
Go to Best Buy or your local Apple store and pickup the Incase Ipad car charger. I've tested and works just fine with the Tab.

There are generic 2A USB cigarette lighter / car chargers on eBay for a third of the price. Worth trying too
Would you mind posting a pic of the charger?
I just bought Samsungs Car Adapter kit (ECA-P10CBECSTD) from local store, 27.90€.
It comes with cigarette lighter 12/24V usb adapter, 2 Amps 5V output, and a proprietary Samsung Tab usb cable.
A little pricey, ok, but now I have a second usb cable and a car adapter with enough output amps without fuss.

Here's the one from Clove.
Amazon UK are selling the Samsung car charger for £20.83. Pretty good deal with free delivery.
[edit]
Or there's this one also on Amazon for 99p (+£4.50 delivery!) which apparently can charge the Tab. You still need to add in the cost of the proprietary Samsung USB cable though to match the official car charger features, so not much of a bargain really...

My only concern is nowhere does it mention the cable actually comes with the charger.

That's all fine and dandy Paul but will an individual be bothered contacting officials just for the sake of a few pounds.
No, what I'm saying is why is it not listed..... and if anyone is considering purchasing one I would recommend they save themselves any issues by first contacting the seller to ascertain if the cable is indeed part of the deal.
If you check the item model number it's listed as a charger, nothing further.

OK well I've just ordered one so we'll soon see . The picture on Amazon looks almost identical to the one on Clove. Here's hoping they're the same otherwise I've bought the world's most expensive charger .
Guys, just so you know, you can get very cheap 2A chargers on ebay. The cable problem is still impossible to solve, but I'm sure Hong Kong people are working on it, so it might be best to wait a month and order a cheap replacement cable, rather then paying ridiculous amount of money for Samsung's original cable.
I ordered one of these a couple weeks ago:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...b43hTuXib7JjWUKJhg%3D&viewitem=#ht_1776wt_959
Came in today, and I swear the sync cable it came with is identical to the one my Tab came with, right down to the Samsung logo.
Car charger itself is a 5.0v/2000mA, looks well built, fused, and comes in a very nice retail package.
Considering the cable alone is $29 from my carrier, it's a hell of a deal. I basically bought a cable for $23 and got a car charger for free.
Hey croak that cellet charger doesnt work. it has the charging symbol crossed out... I guess you need to do usb2usb soldering mod to use any 5v2A charger. I saw the thread on here...

Paul,
Any luck with this item?
I'm using the default Asus wall charger but my cable is breaking and going weird.
Are there any decent and cheap replacements on amazon/whatever available?
The few I've managed to find all have comments on how slow it made their Nexus 7 charge and they didn't recommend it
What should I be looking for to find a cable with decent charging rate?
The OEM HTC micro USB cables have worked great for my Nexus 7. I'm getting ready to order several more from online.
Sent from my DNA... S-Off like a baws
Authentic Logitech and Samsung usb cables work good.
Ditto for stock/OEM micro-usb cables from HTC, the ones that I owned have a sticker/label on the cable and the # DICMUSBT and Model DC1130 - OEM from Motorola from the pre-Android era worked just as good for me, YMMV.
Online vendors on eB*y such as eForcity dot com (NOT an endorsement, but has been buying from them for 10+ years) should net you quality items at a fair & competitive product and usually get them delivered w/ free shipping in 5 to 8 days, coast to coast.
Monoprice 24awg usb cables are the best I have found, when coupled with a quality ac adaper (or car charger).
I ordered this phone for my sister who dropped her alcatel idol 3 in water... It should come in next week. Has anyone tried this usb type c to micro usb adapter? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...rue&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_2&smid=AG8AYSVS7E5IO After reading about the usb type c cable that fried a $1500 laptop I'm worried that something might happen. I at least hope that BLU shipped it with a decent usb type c cable.

I bought these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B018MQE2HA/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Supposedly meet spec. Haven't had chance to use them yet, my phone arrives tomorrow.
I purchased the techmate usb-c cables when they were on sale a couple days ago.. Were like $6 a piece.
I ordered this one http://www.amazon.com/Cambond-Braid...hromeBook/dp/B0119QMKC4/?tag=androidpolice-20
with coupon code from android police http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...om-6-99-to-8-99-on-amazon-after-coupon-codes/ not sure if the coupons still work.
it's been reviewed by Benson Leung at 5*
I got this 1M/3.3ft one for $6 (which is the everyday price, no code necessary): http://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-TeckNet®-Charging-Chromebook-Supported/dp/B014DPXLEY/
Definitely look for reviews by Benson Leung and buy only those cables he scores highly if you don't want to risk it. The one I linked to also got 5/5 stars. I'm sure there are other cables he has never and will never review that are just fine, but he's reviewed so many USB-C cables and adapters that I can't think of a good reason not to find one that suits your needs: http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A25GROL6KJV3QG/
Great topic!
Type-C new to me and all my co-workers. We all just bought and LOVE the BLU Vivo XL, and were surprised about the Type-C...
Checked Benson's reviews. The 1st two cables on his site look good. Great prices! $12 and $11 US. Like most great deals on Amazon.com, they will not ship to Canada. Same 2 cables on Amazon.ca cost over $80 Canadian each! NO THANKS!!!
Can anyone recommend a trustworthy Type-C-to-Type-A cable (nicely priced) from Amazon.ca?
Thanks
So I'm from South America and Amazon/MonoPrice won't ship to my country (Brazil).
Anyone knows a place with good quality cables that have international shipping?
Aliexpress, Dealextreme, etc... but with a USB-C compliant cable. I'm afraid that buying cheap-quality ones I'll be damaging my dear OP3
I have the original cable and charger, but I'd like to have some spares if I eventually break or lose mine.
Thanks!
I purchased my spare charger and cable from eBay, from a user named 2014flybear, his ad is titled Original Oneplus Dash Fast Charger US Adapter Type-C Cable For Oneplus 3 A3000. As far as I can tell, the ones I received are original accessories and are working perfectly.

This Google engineer reviews all models from Amazon. There are a lot of tech blog publications about him and his work.
I've bought mine directly from Anker through Alieexpress.
(I'm not allowed to post external links, yet. But you'll find them on Ali.)
These are original cables. They're having a sale on 11/11.

They raised the price just before 11.11. Usual price is that stated for 11.11. Funny...

That is true probably to make it look like a great sale!
Cable Matter and Amazon
Obviously Amazon is great because of the international support. Cable Matters is a great cable company.
