Samsung Galaxy Note 3 USB 3.0 Data Cable - Non-Retail Packaging - White

This is the basic charger/data cable that comes with the newer Samsung phones. It allows for fast recharging of your phone, and has additional data paths. Also, the double funky width of the connector prevents friends/spouses/kids from using your charger since it only fits newer Samsung phones!I bought two of these to keep, one in my glove box, one in my computer bag, as spares.Read below for my rant on Samsung's god-aweful customer service and ridiculous warranty policy.In case you didn't know this, using any NON SAMSUNG cord on your phone will void the warranty. I didn't fine this out until my original charge/data cable failed, Verizon was out of them, and Samsung required I first send them my defective cable before they would replace it. Since I couldn't go that long without a phone (and yes - I have the expensive insurance but that doesn't cover in-warranty Samsung stuff) I used a new high capacity charger while my replacement was processed. When I called Samsung to find out how much longer it would be, and mentioned I was using one from Verizon that wasn't for Samsung but had the same power output, I was told I'd voided my warranty. WHAT????Yes. Even the cord Verizon used at the store to set up my phone wasn't Samsung brand - so my ubber expensive phone had a voided warranty literally moments after being removed from the package. We aren't talking about warranty coverage for DAMAGE caused by non Samsung parts - we're talking about ever letting a non Samsung item connect to your phone. A car charger, an AC charger, a data cable that you use to transfer some tunes - if ANYTHING that isn't Samsung connects to your phone it voids the warranty. It's like using a Motorola cord is WORSE than getting your phone wet. A wet phone isn't covered by the warranty for any damage that could have been caused by water, but if the cellular provider sets up your address book with a Motorola branded data cable - nope -no warranty.

Wanted to use my old galaxy note 3 as security camera but no charging cord. Lifesaver.

Purchased three of these. I love my Note 3. And I will continue using it as long as I possibly can. So as the years roll by I order spare parts. As I go from room to room, or vehicle. I like having charging capability wherever I am. These cables have given me that ability. When I leave one area and go into the other I can plug up. Likewise my auto's. These data sync cables are identical to the cables that came with my Note 3. And of the three I have ordered and received ALL of them have performed flawlessly. The reason I remembered to do this review was because I came back to order a couple more of these outstanding cables.

As of August 2016 when I purchased my cable for $4.99:This is either NOT an OEM product, or it is a sub-par and poorly made OEM product.The connections are perfectly fine and the cable works well *enough* for a $5 cable. Transfer speeds and voltage is within acceptable limits. I just dont know how long this cable will hold up.You can tell it is poorly constructed as the thickness of the cable varies along the length of the line.---IN FACT, if you look carefully at the photo of this item, on the USB side near the bottom you can see how the cable is all crimped up and much thinner than on the micro-USB side!!!---Not only that but the embossing of the cable with its specifications along the length of the cable are NOT uniform what-so-ever and appear to actually damage the cable in some areas as they go in far too deeply. Similarly, in other areas the specs are un-readable as they are not stamped in far enough. (It should be noted that most cables either emboss them by 'stamping-on' the specs or by simply having them lettered, essentially painted on)I have never seen an OEM Samsung cable that had these problems... and I have had over 25 of them.However, despite all this, the cable DOES work.It's just not the quality I expected. Looks like the connectionors (USB3 to Micro-USB3) are OEM Samsung, but the cable between them is NOT!

Cord fitted my old phone.

I have 30 of the smaller and older chargers that go to the Galaxy III, I was using those most of the time to charge my Note 3. However, the few times that I did use the one USB 3.0 data cable that came with it, I was always impressed by the short charge time.I have the cord, I have not had any problems with it. I do wish it was a tad cheaper, but it's met my expectations. It's always nice to have a few extras of these for where you might be at in the house. This certainly has fit the bill and looks identical to the one that came with my phone.

I ordered my charger yesterday evening and received it this afternoon as promised by Amazon. I'm so satisfied with my purchase! It charges fast although it is twice as short as the cable that initially came with my phone, but that honestly doesn't matter. I'm so glad I made this purchase because I was desperate to get my phone recharged as I am in a long distance relationship and I rely on my phone to keep in contact with my boyfriend. All in all, my problem was solved, so I recommend trying this cable if you're phone is charging slowly before you take it straight to a repair shop!

Works great. My Note 3 stopped responding to the cable that came with it, unless I put something underneath the connector, like a pen cap or something, to elevate it. I was hoping it wasn't a phone issue, but just a cable issue.I bought two of these cables (one for home, one for work), and they both work perfectly. So glad it was just a bad cable.Just keep in mind that there are two lengths to choose from. I chose the shorter length, because that suits my purposes, but some may find it too short.
