Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cables To Go 27005 USB 2.0 A to Mini-B Cable, Black (2 Meter/6.56 Feet)
Customer Review: Excellent Price on Amazon
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a standard USA 2.0A to Mini-B cable that can be used to connect cell phones, MP3 players, digital cameras, GPS devices, etc. to a computer. I purchased this for smartphone synchronization purposes since the cable that came with my device was too short. It arrived only a few days after purchase (from Abacus24-7) in brand new condition and works great. The best part is that it is being sold on Amazon for (literally) pennies, making the cable about $3.00 total, including S&H. I checked the major discount stores online for comparison, and the cheapest a similar cable would be is $10.00.
As a side note, the device I am using this with is a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2; HTC devices use what is known as an ExtUSB, which is a proprietary connector that combines mini-USB with audio/video input (it looks like an irregular mini-USB with one of the ends of the mini-end flat). If you are just synchronizing your device with your computer, you do not need to spend the extra money for that type of cable--this cable works just great (you can check youtube for videos demonstrating the connection on HTC devices).
Customer Review: Not for USB drives!
Summary: 1 Stars
As others have said, this cable will not transmit enough power to run a USB hard drive. Not a bus-powered hard drive, not a powered hard drive, not a hub connected to a powered hard drive. If you like the sickening beep that hard drives make when they're attached to an intermittent power source (and the sickening clicking they'll soon make after that), then go ahead and plug your drive into this cable. It's your honeymoon photos on there, not mine.
But if you value your hard drive, heed my advice (which is identical to the advice others have posted here) and spend a few extra cents on a better cable. I thought the unit I got was defective, but the replacement cable (which cmple very responsively shipped) was exactly the same. Cmple has since very courteously refunded the purchase price of the product, and I think they deserve a lot of credit for that. But unfortunately it doesn't change the fact that, with hard drives, not working is just a feature this product has.
Customer Review: all right by me !!!

This mini USB to USB 2.0 cable works perfectly when I need to connect my Garmin GPS to my PC's USB port. This is particularly useful for Garmin's GPS online product registration and map update downloads. The quality of the cable is rather good; it just plain feels well constructed and it has never failed to work for me; I have no complaints about this product. Although another reviewer wrote that their cable was shorter than the 6 foot length that is advertised here, mine is just about 72 inches long.
Some other cables will cost you more but you'll get the same quality as you will with this cable. I can't see why you should spend more so I highly recommend this item.
Customer Review: Cable that fits the bill
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this cable to connect my portible GPS to my computer. I searched stores like Office Max, Office Depot, Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, Sears, etc., but didn't find anything in stock and for this low price. I initially had data transmission problems connecting it to the front of the tower, so they recommended that I connect it to the back of the tower. They said that can happen with longer cables. That solved the problem. The cable is 6 feet long which allowed me to connect it to the back of the tower and still put the GPS on top of the desk. My order arrived by USPS the first date scheduled and it was in perfect condition. I would highly recommend "Cables To Go".Customer Review: Not quite as advertised, but it works.

I needed this cable for my Mio GPS. I think Mio should have included it as an accessory in the box but I guess they didn't feel it was necessary. So anyway, I ordered two of these cables from the seller ClearAV. Delivery was OK, I received the cables a week after placing my order. But the cable is not 6ft long, despite what it says on the package. The actual length is 40.5 inches. I don't know if you'll get the same cables if you order from a different seller. Nevertheless, I used the cable to hook up my GPS to my computer and it worked fine. My GPS charged up nicely and transferred files with no problems. So I guess I'm OK with them.
