I hate plugging and unplugging different cables when I use many different pen tablets so I standardized my home on specific USB 2.0 cables instead of using the cables provided by the manufacturer. Details on the exact cables and brands are listed below.
These cables are NOT suitable for pen displays (screen tablets) as they cannot carry a video signal.
I use these cables for many devices such as pen tablets (screenless tablets), keyboards, speakers, microphones. Any devices that need a little bit of power and the ability to transmit a small amount of data.
As USB 2.0 cables they are not meant for high-speed data transfer so I don't often use them to transfer files from a phone because there are faster options.
There's nothing special about about them, I just liked that they were available in a bright blue color. And I use that color to organize my cables. Whenever I see a cable with this color I know the kidn of device it is meant for.
The cables are kind of stiff so they won't lay down down easily on a desk.
They are available in multiple colors and lengths. I usually get the 3ft and 6ft lengths.
These cables are very pliant. They will lay flat on a desk.
These are available in black and several light pastel colors.
They are available in 3ft and 5ft lengths.
And I use these cables with many other devices that only need USB 2.0 connectivity.
