I'd like to get an additional USB cable for connecting my Transformer Prime to my PC because I need it for debugging my apps, and I'm getting tired of swapping it back and forth to connect it to the charger brick.
Are these cables commercially available anywhere? Is it the same cable that was used on the original Transformer (which I know nothing about)?
Ebay + Prime USB Cable = Simples
Amazon has it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006N3L5SE/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
I think the product code as SUBAD003600 and they are about $15-20 plus delivery
On eBay UK they are about $11 (ref #280794053901) and eBay USA about $12 (ref #320851673796), both from China, including delivery.

I got this one and it works great. Charges and transfers data just fine.
Thanks all. I just wanted to confirm that it's the same as for a TF101, which apparently it is according to the Amazon listing.

Does anyone know if the Transformer will come with a mini HDMI cable packed in?
I was checking over at Amazon and found an Amazon branded 6' high-speed cable for $7 and a 9' cable for $10. It had 4.5 stars so it seems solid.
Has anyone ever used any of the Amazon branded cables? http://amzn.to/hlQSOp
Is $7 a decent price for a 6' mini HDMI these days?
I use monoprice: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10242&cs_id=1024201&p_id=3645&seq=1&format=2
Works from my video card to HDTV.
Check this out: 15' micro USB to normal USB for $1.12...
Wait that was earlier today - NOW it is $2.18.

So how do you connect HDMIs with a USB cable?
thanks, ordered the 15ft one from monoprice for $8 to go to the back of tv
Thats all i use is Amazon Basics 1.4 cable. I got 6 (Google TV, PS3, Xbox 360 HD DVD , Cable Box, 3D PC) going to my receiver and one going to my 3D LCD. Everything works well from the 3D blurays to the ARC to the Ethernet. I also have an Amazon Basics mico HDMI to HDMI for my Evo 4G and i bought 2 (one to travel with)mini HDMI to HDMI for my Transformer when i get it Tuesday So like i said its all i buy.

Thanks for the feedback!
I went ahead and ordered it from Amazon: http://amzn.to/hlQSOp
Being a Prime member it came in a couple of bucks cheaper than Monoprice.
NOW if i can just get Amazon to ship me a tablet, I'll be in business!
For every accessories/cables on my part i always use ebay, for this price you could get 2 6' mini hdmi to hdmi and they are also covered with nylon...
just my .02 cents
Edit: of course it is cheap (for the price, been using those cables a while and it is A1) only thing is shipping time, you definately have to be patient.... But i find the nylon mesh design definately great!
Does anyone know if it's the same cable as the Atrix?
There's also these
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/hdmi-female-to-mini-hdmi-male-adapter-converter-58158
cheap and then you can just use any old hdmi cable you have lying around, rather than a special cable just for this device.
What do you guys think of this one?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Qualit...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2c5fa2c9da
i got one for 3 bucks on amazon, free 2 day shipping....
Ya they all work the same got one for 2$ at dealsEXtreme free shipping
Thanks i will just check dealextreme then

I got this and paired it with another normal HDMI cable from DX and they work great.
I have tried 3 different brands of USB 2.0 cables and come to the conclusion that only true USB 3.0 would work with the TF (though I would LOVE to be proven wrong).
Where are people getting their extension cables? I refuse to believe that people are living with this horribly short charging cable. It doesn't even reach from my outlet to my desk without an extension cord.
Normally I buy cables like this from Monoprice or DealExtreme or dollar stores, but in this case i would rather find one that someone knows works. I have checked in The Source and Future Shop and could not find any USB 3.0 extension cables.
There is a thread about it called "Short Cable".
Some have bought from amazon.com. Some from Monoprice.
Since I'm in Canada as well, I saw some at Canada Computers and are $10 for 3ft and 13 for 6ft.
I'm taking a chance with Dealextreme for $5.80.
extension cable
i bought mine at Tiger direct store in toronton.

i bought that one and it works good.

Good to know, might get that one.
Bought the 6 ft at Canada Computers ican brand and it works for me.
I ordered one from Dealextreme so I'll let you know if that works as well.
I wish they come in black.
I ended up ordering one from monoprice... I'll report back after getting it.
Hi,
I understand that you need a usb 3 cable to extend the charger, but do all makes worK? I ask as i just got one from amazon that does not seem to work.

There is a thread about this already. It has a listings of all the USB cables that would extend it.
I personally use the one from Monoprice linked in that thread and it works without any problems. I don't see why that cable wouldn't work though.

Sent from Hogwarts
I also have the one from monoprice, works fine and under 8 bucks.
okey so i broke my usb charger cable today. its the end that goes into the tablet that is broken. i live in norway and there is NO ONE (in stores nor online) that sells 201 cables, anywhere. but there is a few stores that sells 101 usb cables. are those compatible with my prime? i dont want to damage my tablet by using something that isnt compatible.
is there any other third party cables that works?
Yes, the TF101 cable (and charger) will work.
Yes, there are 3rd party cables out there, but I'd stick with a major supplier...That's too critical an item to buy from China directly,
I have bought stuff from this company (in California, USA) with no issues, and their prices are fair.

I have a few 3rd party cables from eBay and they work fine with the TF201 although they are shorter. However if your charger is damaged and not just the cable you will want to replace it with an official Asus charger.
I am new to tablets. I recently bought a Nook 7in HD tablet and took it on holiday. I have the tablet still but the cable and charger were in my suitcase which was stolen. I am having difficulty getting a replacement charger. The one I see on Amazon will take a month from Hongkong as I am in the UK. I am unclear if the mains adapter part is universal and that if I get a used data cable (which would be quicker) I could get a universal wall adapter. Surely there must be a quicker way than waiting a month!
Many thanks for your advice.

There's a forum for the Nook HD/HD+ tablets (this one is for the older Nook Tablet). You might get a better response there.
