Any good recs for a USB to USB C cable that is longer than 1 foot? At work I'm constantly plugged into my lap top but this short ass cable isn't cutting it.
I've got this cable on order from Amazon. However the delivery date is pretty long, so I haven't been able to test it yet...

Thanks.
Everytime I've bought a cable from Amazon it always ends up crapping out after about a month. What I mean by that is the end that plugs into the phone "loosens up" and doesn't really stay in the port.
The type-C port seems to be a bit better, but we'll see after some time.

If you check Google+ for Benson Leung he is recommending a couple of cables on Amazon. (Sorry, I'm new to this forum, so I can't post links yet.)

Assume you are asking for a USB Type A (male) to Type C (Male) cable based on plugging into your laptop? Or are you looking for a USB Type C (male) to Type C (male)?
If the former, there are tons a decent cables ranging from 6" to 6.6ft on amazon. I have used the Cable Matters ones and the iOrange-E ones.

Ok i know there is already a thread talking about ethernet to usb adapters but this is a little bit of a different situation. Today while cleaning one of the offices i work for a came across a USB to Ethernet CABLE. Not an adapter per se just a cable with both a male usb and male ethernet. Now i wanted to know is it possible to hook the USB side upto my OTG cable and plug the ethernet end into a router or hub and attain a wired connection?

its the same thing just as one piece
I have a few cables like this as well (1 end has USB and Ethernet, the other end has Ethernet). Can't say it's ever worked on my desktop though...
alright ill just have to give it a try when i get the chance
You are heading for trouble there. That cable is not a ethernet cable, it is to plug into a battery backup for monitoring. At best you would be risking damage to your tablet if you trying to use it like you described. And yes, it was a poor choice by the battery backup manufacturers to use a cat 5 connector on one end of their cables.
First of all, I have seen a lot of reports of people not being able to plug in headphones because the 90 degree adapters cover the headphones. Anyways, would a usb male to female adapter work if I just plugged in a normal data/charging cable and then attached that adapter so that I could use usb devices?

Um, no.
The cable attached to the device needs to have pins 1 and 5 connected (OTG). If you're worried about angled connectors, just get a straight one and it's not an issue.
Hello,
I've tried to find a clear, straight answer online and while I have found info regarding the USB-C standard, I can't find an answer to my question.
I use a mirco usb plug to charge both my current mobile phone and my android tablet.
Does the smaller port in the OnePlus Two use the same sized micro-usb port for charging? I understand that the USB-C port is the larger port on the other end of the cable. Maybe I am wrong about that.
Right now I have several micro usb chargers that I use to charge my phone and my tablet, and I'd like to know if they will be able to charge a OnePlus Two. I don't mind if the charging is slower, but I'd just like to know if it will fit and charge.
Thanks!
No in my sense,as far as my knowlege goes, USB-Type C is altogether a different technology,so you will need a special adapter for OTG too..

No.....a big No....the port they are using is nothing more than a new plug on the phone side of the cord. The other end of the cable will plug into all your old USB ports. So you will need to use the OP2 cable but the end that does not plug into the phone will plug into any current USB port.
They did not include any of the good things that come with USB C, they just put the USB C plug in the phone and on one end of the cable.

Thanks, friend. That's clear. This is a drag. Right now I have several charging cables that power all my stuff. Now if I get the OP2, I'll need two cables for home and two for the office. That's a negative in my book
Thanks!

Based on the release video they said an adapter would be available older USB cables so that might be an option for you.
Good to know. If the adapter is small and inexpensive, that would help a lot! Thanks!

Hey there
I was thinking of getting a OPT and all the features seem to be quite pleasing
But there's this one thing that's been bugging me, Apparently the OPT has a USB Type-C port, so in case if i lose the cable that came in with the Device, can i still use a USB Micro-B Cable from my previous phones or do i HAVE to get a new Type-C cable ?

You can't use USB Type B cables on OP2.Either you have to buy a Type C Adapter or a Type C cable.

So, my 2014 Kia Soul has a new map update that is arriving in the mail tonight, and it includes Android Auto. I know I have to connect my device directly to the USB plug in my car to use it, but I have some questions for everyone.
I want to be able to keep my phone QUICK charging at 3A but also connect for the USB requirements for Android Auto. I also have a 32gb micro sized USB drive I'd like to keep plugged in, as it is loaded up with great driving music. I can live without the USB drive if needed, but really want to keep the ability to quick charge.
If I use an adapter like this one.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A6ZPHAQ/
And connect the Type C connector on that to my phone, and then the Type C USB charger in my car to this, can I connect a Type A male to Type A male cable to satisfy Android Auto?
I hope this makes sense. I'm thinking it'll work, but maybe someone else has tried it. I have this adapter from some testing I did, but don't have a male to male type A USB cable to test out with yet.
I am almost sure it won't work. And where will you get 3A power to quickcharge? Cars usb are not prepared for that.
I would get to 3 amp power from where I get it now, the quick charger that I put in my car as mentioned above.
So the USB C cable would go from my current charger to the USB C in port on this adapter, which is designed only for charging through that port, then a USB A to USB A cable to connect the car USB port to the USB A port on the adapter.
I picked up a short USB a male to male cable earlier today so I can test this on Friday.
