6 ft. (1.8 m) USB to Micro USB Cable - USB 2.0 A to Left Angle Micro B - Black - Micro USB Cable (UUSBHAUB6LA)

well, like many, many others, my Nook Color charging cable gave out and I needed a replacement. After searching for a replacement I found that the Barnes and Noble replacement cable had very low reviews. Also, I had noticed from the beginning, that my original cable seemed to have a rather loose feel when connected to my Nook. I have the AFN on my Nook Color and I have one that will not boot to Android unless it is plugged in. I almost always run it in the Android mode, and one morning I discovered that it was not on the Android. When I tried to reboot it, even tho it was plugged in, it would not boot to Android. After inspecting connections I discovered green corrosion on the Nook end of the charging cable; indicative of a loose connection. Apparently the Nook could still charge (tho somewhat slower rate I am sure, than normal), but it was losing enough power drop thru the poor connection that it would not boot to Android. I tried to clean up the original connector, but it never got good enough to boot into Android, and still, there was that sloppy feel to it. Like mentioned before, the B & N replacement cables have gotten very poor reviews, so I looked deeper. When I use my Nook in bed or sitting, with the charging cable plugged into it, the cable is bent oddly against me because it comes out the bottom of the Nook, and so it becomes cramped around at a bad angle, I am sure, further stressing the connection at the Nook that isn't very tight anyway. I came across this item and found that with the angled end, it relieves the stress at the back of the connection, actually tends to push the connector into the device. I got the "Left-hand angle" because my power source for the cord is to the left of me, but you can choose which side you want it to angle to, and there are also length choices. This has a very good tight connection to my Nook, which is imperative for best electrical properties. I think this is a great product and something Barnes and Noble should look into for their own betterment. The only drawback is that, of course, it does not have that nice "N" lit up showing you that it is charging/charged. But, as soon as you start your Nook or look at it, you can determine that anyway. Again, I have the Nook Color tablet, so not sure what other Nooks this may fit, as I have read that all the cables for Nooks are not the same. UPDATE: Just a note as to the longevity of this cable; I have been using this for a year now and am still very satisfied with it. I have had no problems with it.

While this is not a problem with my phone, the straight (and short) OEM cables interfere with my hands when operating my tablets while they are charging. This quality cable rectifies this problem. NOTE: the plug fits REALLY tight. A great value. Make sure that you order the right angle (I didn't and bought right-angle versions). You want the cable pointing in the right direction (e.g.: down instead of up on tablets with port on the side). Update: When using this cable while charging/using a 11" Lenovo Lynx tablet, I get an odd error message that says that the power drawer exceeds charging input. Note that this cable is comparatively thin and I suspect that this restricts the cable's ability to provide full charging current. I also did not get this message when I used other cables that turned out to be thicker as well. Finally, the cable works find with my Google Nexus 7 tablet. This means that it should work fine with any mobile device that has a 7" screen or less.

Works great and WILL deliver more than 1.0 Amp. You can NEVER use an app on a smart device to test current limits because these devices have many many controls and loads which artificially limit or add drain to charging current. Current is not the only factor too, there is voltage and voltage drop in the cable. On my standardized test bench (yes I am an Electrical Engineer) with a regulated 5 volt 2.1 Amp limited power source I measured up to 1.65 amps before the voltage dropped below 4.75 volts which is where I estimate the average minimum voltage cutoff of most devices in my experience. That is a maximum power carrying ability of 7.8 watts, more than enough to charge most tablets. Every device has it's own thresholds where it will cut off charging power (volt times amps equals watts which is a measure of net power) when it gets too low. That is POWER not amps. Amps alone means nothing. You can deliver 20 amps to a smart device but if the voltage isn't sufficient it will cut off the charge power. If you are unable to charge a device which requires 1.5 amps, this cable is not the single problem. It may not charge it as quickly as some other cables (look for "high speed charge" not "high speed data transfer" cables) but it will generally charge most tablets requiring 1.5 amps. As long as they do not have any additional charge control wires in the cables like Apple uses.

Works with my Wacom Intuos Tablet, and even translates pen pressure! Sturdy as well. For any artists needing a replacement cable, this one is worth it. Good data cable for a good price :)

My wife has a kindle fire and she has had to replace it after just a few months because the straight micro usb connector is quite long and the mere act of holding the kindle while plugged in put pressure on the port and loosened it to the point where you had to fiddle with it for nearly an hour until you got lucky and made a connection so you could charge the device then gently put the device down so as not to disturb the loose cable and hope the connection held up till the kindle was charged. Now the whole point of using the Kindle Fire on ac was that the wifi connection drains the battery FAST so my wife uses it plugged in for extended use. The startech angled cable makes a tight snug fit that does not put pressure or tug on the port when moving around and it's very short; only sticks out about 1/2 of an inch when plugged in. The straight jack that came with the Kindle was very long like 2 inches plus the cable hanging down from it and was constantly bumping into something and pulling on the kindle port. My wife pairs the cable with a usb to ac adapter/charger she got at Walmart for charging or running the device on ac. The cable really has only two downsides depending on if you get a left or right angle you will block the headphone jack which is a problem if you connect to speakers or the cable will block the power button which is really not an issue just unplug the jack to turn on or restart the Kindle then plug it back in again. The other downside is the cable is thin so you have to be gentle with it. Just don't go yanking it around and it should be fine. If it ever does fail...well I only paid $7 for the 6 ft cable shipping and tax included so no big deal. So if you use headphones or speakers a lot get the right angle otherwise get the left to not block the power button. User preference. Personally My wife uses speakers a lot when listening to podcasts so she uses the right angle mostly and she loves the 6 foot cable. The kindle cable is only 4 feet to my knowledge.

Bought this to power a pocket radar for videoing games. Works well - the direction of the 90 degree angle connector is correct for the orientation of the usb micro jack on the pocket radar.

I purchased this connector to replace one my spouse had abused over the years. She got into the habit of picking up her phone with her thumb on the micro USB connector and pointer finger on the back of the phone, which leveraged the weight of the phone (a very heavy Samsung Note 2) onto the metal connector inside the plastic molded plug. This, of course, caused the metal on the actual plug to bend, and eventually pop out of the plastic molded housing. I solved the problem by getting her this angled USB cable, so now she picks it up by the phone, not the connector. The connector appears to be of very durable build quality. If I need another left or right angled connector, I will purchase this brand again. Please note to make sure you get the correct angle - both left and right are available! Other reviews have complained about the thin cable not handling 1A phone charging. This cable is being used on my wife's new Samsung Note 3, which pulls 2A at 5.3V(not 5V)for at least a month now without a single problem.

I wanted a different cable for my pen tablet on my desk which came with a straight USB cable but a right angle cable would have made much more sense. I found this one and have used the brand before without issues and this cable worked great for my need. Good quality for the price and functions as required.
