What's a good replacement usb cable for the charger?

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).

Cheap OTG cables from Monoprice, ships from US

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.

Usb type c cables?

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

Good place for USB-C chargers?

We've all heard the horror stories about bad cables & chargers... if I'm importing this to the UK, is there a good place to get the right charger?

I've never used usb-c before, but I've had great experiences with chargers/cables/batteries from ANKER.. If I were to order extra usb-c ecuipment it would be from them ..

Here is a good guide to usb c cables, aimed at Nexus phones but should be relevant

Usb C cable recommendations

Coming from a note 5, usb c cable is new to me. Do we need 56k ohm cable for fast charge? I was eyeing the aukey cables but it is not on the list of certified cables. http://www.usb.org/kcompliance/view/USB Type-C Cable Certifications.pdf

Thanks for share..how about Rampow’s Type C USB cable

I try to use "cable matters", choetech, and anker cables whenever possible. Can't speak to the cable you mentioned.

^^ Anker has never let me down.

56k ohm cable from Anker all the way.

Anker works and is reputable

I bought 3 cable pack from anker they are great quality, thick, soft and have small Velcro ties on each end to keep it orderly.

Anker FTW.
Sent from my LGV20 using yo Mama's unlocked bootloader.

Choetech FTW, always been nothing less than 100% for me

Anker is my go to brand for cables and portable batteries

Belkin for me
:good:
