 It's a good cable but make sure that THIS is what you need Aug 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'.

Works with Garmin nuvi 200 GPS May 24, 2009
By Kristen Davidson
I bought this for my Garmin nuvi 200 GPS. This is the right cable. It fits the back and plugs into computers to download new voices and vehicles. It works well and saves a bundle on "brand name" usb cables. I highly recommend it.

Great Aug 13, 2008
By Millers Cleaning
These cables are wonderful and for the price, I could not beat it. They give great flexibility and we use them for our GPS devices. Not a single problem!

Using it now... Oct 06, 2011
By Ryan
I like this. It's not often you get surprised that something is BETTER than you thought it was, but this is one of those times. I was just looking for a cheap replacement cord for my Pandigital Novel E-reader, because I had lost mine, and I bought this, not really paying much attention to it, just making sure it was the correct connections. It has Gold Plated tips! For this price, it's a steal for a good cable. Definitely recommend.

 Cable is decent, but it is only USB 1.1- IT IS NOT USB 2.0 Jan 05, 2011
By mighybri248
I bought this cable for an external hard drive, when i discovered the cable is a USB 1.1 cable and not USB 2.0 (I needed 2.0). Please be advised before purchasing one of these that they are USB 1.1 and NOT USB 2.0. Don't make the same mistake that i made (DON'T BUY IF YOU NEED THE CABLE TO BE USB2.0).
