Micra Digital 6' USB A to USB Mini-5pin CableMicra Digital USB A to USB Mini-5pin Cable (6 Feet) Review
Most newer gadgets come with a Micro-B port - Amazon's Kindles are such examples - but some of the older ones, such as the PS3 controllers, even some older or off-brand tablets still need a Mini-B connector and not all come with their own cable. Or you may feel that you need an extra wire, just in case. And this is where Micra's cables come in. These used to be the 'standard' USB cables a few years ago but you should make sure that this is what you really need because most gadgets have a smaller 'micro' (not mini) USB port these days.Be aware that this cables will not work with any current Kindle or most tablets or phones.
Almost everything about Micra's product is right, including the price except maybe for the wire being a little thin but that doesn't matter much. It is USB 2.0 certified, therefore supporting transfer rates of up to 480Mbps and, if your device needs a Mini-B plug, this is the cable to get. Just pick the proper length: 3 ft for charging or data transfers off a laptop, 6 ft if you need to plug it on the back of a less portable device.
This being a commodity item, I am awarding it 5 stars mostly for 'price' and the convenience of it being available through Amazon's super-savers (free shipping) and it being delivered in a 'frustration-free' box.

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. Your gadget's manual should probably state what time of connector you are going to need.
