Had a small Cowboys bluetooth speaker speaker I won at a golf tournament at Cowboys golf club and lost the charging cable, it was the old style that was more square that the standard android cable. Ordered this and it worked great! Only problem is I lost this cable and now I need to buy another one!!!!!!!bah!!!!!

Exceptionally well made and, thus, no less exceptionally integral to, for, and entirely about all of my everyday, inherently key-required electronics-based production modalities, bar, simply, none, ever, whatsoever: That (very) exceptionally excellent!

As I have written elsewhere, Insignia cables are inexpensive, superior quality and are easy to find in my local Best Buy. This particular cable was a godsend as the USB Samson microphone I bought from the Big Blue Box failed to include the cable that is needed to actually power up the microphone-- this cable accomplishes that goal perfectly.

It was a much need purchase for hooking my Canon t7 to download from camera to computer. It’s very helpful and easy to do. I started on my phone taking pictures and editing with the photoshop and Lightroom apps but the screen was small and a challenge to edit. I was able to have this app for canon cameras that allowed me to download them wirelessly from phone to computer but to me in my opinion it’s much easier.

I bought this cord after losing one that came with my drawing tablet. I was afraid it wouldn't fit correctly or that it wouldn't sync up but it did it perfectly. Also the length of the cord is perfect as well and the cable itself seems really firm and stable.

This charging cable worked well. I needed it for the Ti-84 calculator (i lost the original charger) and this did the job. They also come in a really reasonable length. I believe they also work for Ps3 controllers. I would purchase this again. Basic and standard though I think you would be good with any other brand too.

...laptop/computer to your document camera!! I use a school-issued F-30 Aver doc-cam. With this cable, I can teach on Zoom, not just “share screen” for Google slides.
I also downloaded the free Aver A+ app, but all you really need is THIS cable. It’s a game-changer for remote instruction.

Cable Gives A Good Fit

I use this cable to upload photos from my camera to my desktop computer.
This one is easier to use than the cable it replaced, as both ends produce a good fit. This was a problem with the old cable it replaced, which would often come loose at the camera coupling.

Was looking for this cable at all the other stores in the city and nobody carried it. And the only place that had it in stock was bestbuy. Bought it, took it home, tried it and it worked. Saved me the hassle of doing a return waiting to get a new item for just a missing cable. The cable that I bought worked as it should.

Perfect USB for GPS Device

I purchased this affordable USB cable replacement for my Garmin GPS. I lost the USB cable that came with it previously. I was able to sync and update my GPS connected to my computer. This USB cable is different from the one that the smartphone uses. If you want to find a replacement USB cable, choose this instead of buying the factory one from Garmin.

I don’t know if I got carried away when I last cleaned my room and absent-mindedly threw out my graphing calculator’s charger or if did so thinking it belonged to an estranged printer, but the truth of the matter was I had a test coming up for Statistics and needed a charger because if not my tuition was going in the trash. Oddly, Texas Instruments doesn’t sell their own replacement chargers. I did not even know why type of USB it was. I hate buying products that look shoddy, so I bought this one. Insignia is a Best Buy label by the way. It works just as well as the original charger for my calculator, and knowing I wasn’t going to be toast for my exam was good too.

Good Quality Cable for Older Devices

I bought this cable as a backup to be able to connect an older Olympus digital voice recorder to my computer. The cable does all it's supposed to, works reliably and without any obvious lag or delay. Also useful for other older devices I own. These cables are getting harder and harder to find in stores as they're replaced by newer designs, so I'm very happy Best Buy continues to produce (via the Insignia brand) and stock them. The only downside is the cost of the cable; cables have always seemed a fair bit pricier than they cost to make, but that said, this cable isn't really any more expensive than comparable alternatives. If you need a cable for an older device, this product will fit the bill, and Best Buy should be commended for keeping it readily available in stores and online.

Cable is high quality. The option for a shorter version only 3ft was perfect. The cable seems made of durable rubber coating to protect the inner wires. I would highly recommend this brand cable for purchase.

The Insignia™ - 3' USB Type A-to-5-Pin Mini-B Cable - Black is a good cable to use without having to spend the extra cash like the higher priced ones. I have this cable in use every day and have never had any problems. I should have bought two so I would have an extra.

I used this cable to connect vehicle USB to Garmin. Cable was available in the length I needed and it successfully charges my Garmin. My phone charge cable would not consistently charge my Garmin.
