Just order one. Free shipping to WA. Cheap for a 1.8m cable. Not sure of quality but hopefully it is good.
Great for long charging cable as most phones now come with a combine data/charger cable which is quite short.

got 3, thanks
Thanks.. just ordered 2
But please specify USB to Micro USB in the title.Done!
Ordered 2.
Warning: I purchased one of these a few weeks back, they are not a high quality cable. They only charge at a maximum rate of 0.4 - 0.6 amps …. which is a very slow charge.
I thought the speed of charging was to do with the charger and not the cable??!
Nope….you might get 2.0amps at the charger end, but the time it gets to the end of a cheap cable or a long cable (cheap long cables are the worst!), its a tiny fraction of that.
Try this seller for cables that guarantee 2.0amps.

This tandy cable, is ok for a slow overnight charge of a phone, but it wont provide enough amperage to charge (or even keep a tablet alive) whilst in use.
these cables were good but not anymore, bought some recently and after couple of months. stopped charging and need to play with the head around to start charging.
I was fun of these cables but I wounding recommend them any more
I agree with @ash2000 I have been using my tikbro cable for almost a year now and its still working great!
thanks bought 1 from ur link, i had same issues with 3M cable bought from eBay.
This and the 12W Apple charger are a serious charging team
Sweet thanks!
Also there's a 3 pack for $8.99 if you plan to get more than one:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251505559657thanks. Bought one since i'm having issues charging my LG G2 - only charges at around 500mA regardless of what charger i use (1.0A or 2.1A)
I use the battery monitor widget. Also if you have an LG phone you can check from the hidden service menu by dialing
3945#*802#But substitute 802 for your phone model number. It's 802 for the LG G2 or 920 for the LG Optimus 3D.
@edrift: Thanks. Turns out the battery app I was using already had it; it didn't on the S2 I had before, so I didn't think to check.
If anyone's wondering, the code is *#0228# on the Galaxy S4.
Damn, wish i had read this before I purchased a bunch of them. Figured being Tandy/dick smith they might be better quality.
They're not terrible, just not as efficient as a genunine or HQ cable. But in all fairness, I only bought one, and tested one…..a fairer assessment would be to test multiple cables.
The old Tandy stuff (actually Radio Shack) was very good quality but expensive.
I think DSE are just using the brand for some reason, DSE stuff has always been …just acceptable.
They're the same loose $1 cable you used to pick out of a tub just now in hang packets and prices creeping back to Tandy levels….
Tandy cable lol
"Accessories Included - No"
No accessories come with this cable, it's just a raw cable, therefore no deal then.Of course it only comes with a cable. What do you expect for $1.50?
A box of chocolates or flavored mints.
I bought 2 pairs. Very good price. Seriously. I can sit in bed and use my phone whilst it is charging. Hopefully it doesn't kill me.
Thanks. Just ordered 3. I don't really need it at the moment but what the heck only $1.50 each.
Bargain. These sort of USB cables are $9.95 at Jaycar.
Thanks op deal looks good for local!
could always use a few more and can never find this cable to charge my ps3 controller hah.Thanks OP, got a few of them as they are always handy to have around.
Thanks. I am super tight. Ordered one. Freee Delivery. It's actually a better deal.
If you want to lose 0.8m of cable length all for 50c. Oh and also takes 3-4 weeks before it even leaves the warehouse. I don't see how it's a better deal. Your tightness just cost you a lot of time for a shorter cable you may see in about a months time all for just a 50c difference.
Actually a worse deal. Kogan cabling is $1 per metre, whereas DS is $0.75 per metre. Plus the convenience of actually having a physical store to return it to if something's wrong.
Kogan cable's quality is crap, DSE's cable is supposed to be better.
thanks
'Tandy' - haven't seen that name in years! Worth buying to show the kids!
Hope you don't need the Kogan one too soon - "Leaves warehouse in 3-4 weeks"
Yeah true receive it in about over a month later from Kogan in Hong Kong so it's overseas stock and delivery.
"This Product is offered and supplied by Kogan HK Limited pursuant to the Terms and Conditions." <—— meaning delivered from Hong Kong after about a 3-4 week backorder delay.
I really wonder about some time just how tight they can get when it just makes themselves look like an idiot. We're talking about only a 50c difference for a 80cm longer cable with Australian stock and free Startrack Express delivery.
Will this work as a longer charge cable for a PS4 controller?
Works on the PS3 controller so should work on the PS4.
not good with cables, would this work on samsung s3/s4?
Yup. That's what I use it with.
thanks
ordered.
If you're using the 2.1a charger with the S4. This cable will limit the charge to 0.5a
Anyone with a charger higher than 500mah needs a cable like the Tikbro
I learned this after months of wasting time with normal usb cable.
Thanks OP! Free shipping to me in Sydney makes this extra awesome! I hope it is higher quality than the usual cables from Ebay for around $1-2
Bought 10, otherwise i would of have to pay 1 Belkin cable for the same price.
arrgh sold out.
you're not missing out..
these cheapo cables are pretty bad quality.. charging speed wise and also build wise
thanks
Got the shipping email for my 3 cables today.
Received them today. The quality is okay. The plugs are well made and the connectors have a goldish colour. The cable has 28awg printed on it. I'm not sure if thats good but the cable is fairly flexible.
looked good quality to me, gold plated
Received my 3 cables today. Cables seem ok. $1.50 each was a bargain.
thanks just got 3. love the longer usb cables
