Short USB-A to USB-C Cable - Google Pixel 2 Accessories

Has anyone found any short USB-A to USB-C cables? I can't seem to find anything shorter than 3.3 feet / 1 meter. I'd like to have a 12 or 18 inch cable to use in my truck to connect to Android Auto...

I have an extra 14 inch one from my replacement N5X. If you pay for postage it's yours.

Search for a coiled cabled. I got one for my truck too.

I don't see any from Vendors I recognize as reputable. Can you link to what you're using?
I bought this for now, but it may be a bit shorter than I was hoping for: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0746C244X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't recall if there are any short ones with good reviews here, but you could look for ones by the brands with good reviews.

I use a few of the longer cables and they are Nathan K approved for USB-C compliance. Great quality.

Just found micro HMDI cables under 8 bucks

So I was ordering some cables from my favorite only source today and I thought I check if they are carrying any micro HDMI cables yet.
Sure enough they are in 1.5, 3, 6, 10 and 15ft lengths
The 15ft is for under 8 bucks and they are all gold plated if it matters.
http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10253
Just added a 15ft to my cart
i thought the longer the cable, the worst the quality. i may be wrong...

With analog cables, yes that is true to some extend. But for HDMI cables which are digital, no, it will either fully work, or it wont. There is NO difference between a $6 cable from monoprice and a $300 "Monster" cable from Best Buy. Anything under 25 feet will be exactly the same.

Then you will have to buy a 50$ repeater!
If you're picking up a HDMI cable from Monoprice, you might also grab a couple of micro-USB cables if you need them for your Evo.
I just received notification from monoprice that the 6ft cable is back in stock.

I ordered one of each. 3ft and 6ft. They both work the same. Same quality and display. On either cable you can't really touch the Evo or you lose signal. I believe every hdmi cable has this problem on the Evo.

Longer Cable for Charger?

Anyone know if a longer cable is available for the charger?..a Samsung one?
That should do:

I think you can find a 3m as well.

A little more hackish, but why not just use a Male to Female USB extension.

Yes, this works. You can do better than Amazon though:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=103&cp_id=10303#1030304
Very high quality, can't beat the price. Much better alternative than spending $10-$20 for a knock-off OEM cable.

Yes! AFAIK Monoprice makes or at least has their house brand cables manufactured themselves. Their prices are amazing and their quality is a notch above the "premium" cables that Best Buy pushes on you.
I can also vouch for the Amazon Basics USB extenders as we use a ton of the 3m ones at work.
Remember that the Tab will slow charge unless you use a charger that can tell it to fast charge. Otherwise it thinks it's charging off a PC USB port and won't draw more than 500mA. I haven't measured the Samsung adapter to see if D+/D- are shorted, but on my Nexus One and Nook Color this trick works great

Yes, I have bought tons of stuff from them. 2 TV mounts about a year back...$50 each for top quality mounts (better than the $500 mounts Best Buy sells). Recently I have purchased about four micro-USB cables for my Evo (for the car, the house, the apartment, etc.). And I have also purchased audio cables from them.
Never a problem...great products, great pricing. Can't go wrong!

I use Amazon because I have prime and they deliver in 2 days for free, even for a $3 cable. In the past I have ordered TV mounts from MonoPrice, and they are absolutely fantastic as well. Great prices and great service.
Funny how for the same cable as mono price charges $2, Best Buy charges $40 and people just blindly walk in and pay it... guess that's what's keepin the doors open at bestbuy
Thanks for the info in this thread, the stock cable that came with it is way too short, kinda annoying actually.

little old but this is true. Their HDMI cables are better than the BB ones and pretty much anything out there. Don't be fooled by big marketing and shiny connections. Trust me, these work and they are GREAT. There was a BIG controversial show down between big names and the no names and well, guess who won.

Its not the cable. Its the USB ports on PCs. They only push out around 500mA. The tabs need around 2mA to get rolling.. Thats why we can charge on a wall socket while using it, and the PC wont charge it even if the screen is off. The Tab as to be off completely for the PC to charge it.

Thanks a bunch. I'll order one of those cables on Amazon since I have Prime. It's weird, even the official charger only charges about 5%/hour while in use and not a ton more than that while fully off.
Edit: I tried using an extender I found in my closet. When I hooked it up, the tablet went from 'charging (AC)' to 'discharging'. A message saying 'USB connection and 'MTP connection.

So, you're confirming that a USB extender does NOT work?
I've seen lots of reviews of longer cables on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Tablet...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1315864961&sr=1-17) that say all these 3rd party longer cables DO NOT charge at the same rate as the OEM cable, even with the OEM charger
Has anyone else confirmed if a USB extender or any available 3rd party longer-than-OEM cable will still charge at the same rate as the OEM cable with OEM charger?

Yup. Samsung must've did something to their cable/charger so they only work with each other.

Longer MicroUSB charging cable

The microUSB cable is too short, and need a longer one. Will any of the long ones that pop up on ebay work fine or does it need to be a specific type of cable or something.

Longer cable cause greater power loss
i bought a kindle3 last year, and the cable is very long. When i use it to connect my phone to USB port on laptop, my phone can't be recognized
The one that came with the phone was to long for me. I switched to the one that came with my one x. I use the one x charger to it looks better made

That is just a faulty cable.
Perhaps you can use an existing USB cable?
I've plenty of these from my past units - I find Nokia cables very well made
My N8 USB cable have locking clasps at the micro-USB side and works pretty well for fast charging
For longer cable needs I bring with me the charging cable of my Logitech K800 wireless keyboard
Great quality USB cable for charging and connecting to KIES or just plain transferring files
I have one white original for my kindle, but using it with gs3 charger, as it's twice as long...

That's the whole point, to make the cable that came with the charger longer. That way one can lay in bed, charge, and use the phone at the same time.

Yeah, I just wish (KICKSTARTER!) that someone made a microusb cable that didn't protrude so much from the end of the phone, making it a pain to hold comfortably in landscape mode. Even the right-angle microusb cables I have aren't good enough.
Somebody should really make one that sits flush against the phone, with some extra silicone padding along the base, so you can't even really tell that it's plugged in. It'd be a little pricier, being niche, but I'd buy it... and if marketed right, lots of others would too.

Good question, I don't know. Maybe someone else can chime in.
I can't decide between 6, 10 and 15 ft.
I was going to get the 15 ft until someone else mentioned the longer cables affect charging performance. I don't know if there is any truth to that.
Can someone who knows chime in please
I just bought two 15ft cables on monoprice for two bucks a pop. There's a lot of positive reviews, so my guess is that it works just fine

Totally off-topic but for everybody that buys cables from Monoprice, do you guys have free shipping code or something?
I know their products and prices are good. But it seems like unless I'm buying a lot of cables, the shipping doesn't justify the cost.
Charging isn't an issue over 6 feet, but if you're using it for data, don't go over 6 feet...
This is what I use. No issues.

Hi Samir
Did you have enough time to do the charge test ? I'd like to buy some cables for my OPT.
I ordered a couple of these adaptors
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB-...le-New-Macbook-Oneplus-Two-2/32432538845.html
But I'm not sure about quality... And those cables are nearly the same price.
Thanks
Just tried out the Amazon HAMA USB-C Cable and it fits poorly.
Even touching the cable interrupts charging / communication isnt working at all.
Hi i have faced no such issue with Orzly cables
Here is the result of short test done
Time for 1 percent charge
Oneplus Cable which came with Phone around 3 minutes
Orzly C Type cable around 2.2 minutes
There's a month delay on getting the Orzly cables via Amazon. Instead I ordered a cable from Monoprice and their Type-C conversion cap.
http://www.monoprice.com/pages/usb_31_type_c
Thats really strange because the C type cables were the first accessory available by Orzly
Thanks for the review. Probably gonna pick up a couple of these cales :good:
Just bought a 5 pack from orzly for 12.99. Not bad!

USB C PD Dock

Just had my Kidigi USB C dock break that I was using with my Nexus 5X. I am struggling to find any docks that have USB C and Power Delivery. Has anyone found one? It's not really important to have the PD because I only use this charger for at night when I'm sleeping but it would be nice to have if it's available. Thanks!
I am very happy with my Seifio USB C dock, but they have been out of stock for quite a while. https://www.seidioonline.com/product/seidio-desktop-charging-cradle-type-c/

FYI, I just received my new phone, Seidio Surface case and holster. I had the same setup on my original Pixel XL and it worked fine. However, for some reason the bottom of the Pixel 2 XL case is thicker, causing the USB C port to be recessed too far to connect to the plug on my Seidio USB C dock.
I will be contacting them for suggestions, as the two Seidio products should be compatible with each other.
USB C charging for the Nexus 6P was 15w. Power Delivery for the Pixel and Pixel 2 are 18w. Some laptops and macbooks can charge at even a higher rate
I cannot believe that USB type C PD has been out for years and there is not ONE usable dock.
I just bought this one, came in yesterday used it couple times now says it's RAPID CHARGING. seems to be charging well mind you it's only been one day.

I've never used a dock, but I can't imagine buying a dock like this where all of the phone weight is propped up on the charging port. Those things aren't welded in like a car trailer... they snap all the dang time. I am currently in the market for a USB-C dock, but am specifically looking for one that has a "rest" for my phone.
I've seen a couple out there, but one is Samsung and the other looks identical, but with a different name.
It seems we just need to create our own and we'll sell millions...
I ended up buying this dock. It's great so far even though it doesn't fast charge. I just have it on my night stand so I don't really care about fast charging there. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071HFM217/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ycgdAb6TYTBSR
Looks like this one is PD and even if it isn't at least it has a USB C connection and not an attached USB A cable.

Good find! I just found more USB C CharmTek docks at AliExpress and they're cheaper too, if you don't mind slow shipping: https://charmtek.aliexpress.com/sto...pm=2114.12010608.0.0.69e148caGflmWA&topMenu=y

Nope. Just noticed it. Not too many bad reviews really. I don't know if I want to get one or not though.

Doesn't seem worth it. I've been burned too many times on Amazon with trusting their reviews. Just basically threw away $8 on a screen protector that ended up being complete garbage however had a 4.5 star review.

One of the reviews shows the connector broke after a few uses. Why are there no quality docks out there? Everything is so dang cheap. I'd spend $50 if I knew it would be a solid dock that I could use for a long time.

As theBeachBoy said, that's not a dock, so it's not what people in this thread are looking for. But if anyone is looking to buy a multiport charger that supports PD, I've owned that Anker one for a year. I have it setup near an older iOttie car mount that I use as a dock on my desk, and it works great.
