I picked up a couple aftermarket usb cables of Ebay for my tab so I could connect it at the office and use them in the charger for travel. I realized today I cant connect to my PC when I use the aftermarket cables. Just a heads up
You have to get the cable that matches your tab model. The pin outs are not the same between models.
Where??? I always got my accessories for my phones on Ebay without issue.
I believe what the OP is saying is make sure get charge and sync cable. I'm guessing the one he bought was only capable of charging. Fewer pins to connect = cheaper costs.
The pins are different for different models. When I bought a second cable off ebay, I couldn't get the cheapest, because it wouldn't work for my model. I had to buy the at&t model.
I bought a couple of these usb sync/charge cable recently from the eBay and gad no problems with them. They came with proper boxes wraped up.
If yoy need the link, let me know and i will send it to you.
Thanks.

Galax Tab Sprint Cable
I have the oem cable and this aftermarket cable from ebay.
I've been using the cable from ebay since I got it.
The cable works fine and is longer.
Again I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab

Just (arrived yesterday) got an after marked cable from ebay, just tried to use it and my Tab appears to shut down (black screen, no response from buttons etc).
Luckily I have my original cable with me but now that's doing the same (into a PC and mains).
Is this a massive coincidence of have I just goosed my beloved Galaxy Tab?
I bought a number of cheap retractable cables from ebay and they all work well for sync and charge.

I really hate that the OEM cables are so dang short. I'd love to find a couple of longer ones.

I use my OEM cable tho it is short, I use my USB cable extension from my logitech wireless mouse, It works just fine.
Of course when syncing I plug it direct to PC
I bought two different from DealExtreme a couple of months ago.
Both are working fine on my Dutch operator-free stock rom Tab.
The cables are a bit thinner then the original but for me works fine both charging and pc connection.
Shipping is free but some packages get lost "somewhere".
So it is just a risk you might want to take.
Only $ 2.90 to lose so for me better then eBay
Example: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/designer-s-data-cable-for-samsung-p1000-1m-length-51931
Bought there very cheap other accesoires as well:

When your at it I think you prefer to order a 2Amp car charger for example as well.
AliExpress also has lot's of items:

Be sure to use a "gold supplier" if you want to have more guarantee that it actually be delivered.
Thans from another dutch guy who borght his stuff at mobilesupplies.nl for reasonable proces. Two charges a Docking station and a bluetooth keyboard in leather case.

Would I be able to purchase extra OEM USB Cables like the one that came with the device? They have a really premium feel compared to other USB cables, and the connector is slim so it works really well with cases.
most likely no. You will have to look online for one you like. I can't see Google just selling USB cables. Maybe try calling LG and asking for more. (replacement or buy)

Hmm, I guess I'll wait a week or two to see if they start showing up online.
Hi, for the last couple of week my micro usb port has been malfuctioning, giving me a hard time to charge my phone. I found some replacement ports on the interwebz but havent found out one that lists the nexus s phone. So... are these ports like universal? or are they different from model to model and brand to brand? thanks!
I looked around on different threads, and I can't seem to find the answer. does anyone know or have a good OTG cable which they use with the Nexus 7?? Thanks in advanced!
P.S. Is this in the right place forum for this?? or in the future am I supposed to put accessories questions in the accessory forum??
P.P.S If you haven't already figured out, I new, thanks for the help
Also
Also, If you use or know of a good docking station for the nexus 7, which supports data transfer between a computer and the tablet, that would be nice. Thanks in advanced
Sv: [Q] Good OTG cable?
You can buy OTG cables from E-Bay / Dealextreme. Take a look there, most of them is pretty ok and they are very cheap.
I use a OTG cable from a local store on my Xperia(Same cable, works 100% on Nexus 7) and its a pretty basic one. Just order a cheap one.
I got mine off Amazon ....2 bucks. Works fine! Took 3 weeks to get here.....but I didn't pay attention ....it was coming from Hong Kong. Lol
Sent from my cell phone telephone....
Anyone know of any decent ones? there are a few on Amazon but one review was like " first time i used it it feel apart " LOL
Got this one on Amazon, I'll let you know by Friday if it fell apart

I think the OP is on about adapters not cables. I think...
If it is adapters you're on about:
I just got 5 for £2.73. That's 54.6p each!
