Where can i buy original usb cable for nexus 6? - Nexus 6 Accessories

Hello i've lost my original usb cable. I can't find original (genuine) nexus 6 cable anywhere. Please help me. Thanks.

Is there any particular reason why you want a "genuine" Nexus 6 cable?
It's just a bog standard microUSB lead - you can get them anywhere, from 99p jobs on eBay up to decent brands like Anker from Amazon for a few pounds.

---

Anker and Monoprice are my go-to USB cables. They work well, are decently built, and reasonably priced. I see no reason to pay more for something that's, at best, as good as the ones I already use. I'm not aware of anywhere to buy the N6 OEM cable, maybe Motorola? They probably use the same one on most of their phones.

Monoprice is an excellent cable I replaced my original with it
Edit misspelling

Agree with him... Anker's quality is top of the line.
I use this cable and it just great:

And I agree with you. I only use Anker. Top quality. Sure they cost a little more, but I don't fool around when it comes to my phone. Monoprice is also pretty good for the price, and have a couple of those laying around.

Thanks for your replies. I thought there is no difference for file transfer but charging with a different cable may harm battery. Because of this i want a genuine cable. But after your answers i'm gonna buy an anker or a similar good quality cable.

You don't need to really worry about cables harming your battery unless there is something seriously wrong with them. Either way I really like the genuine cables too but there are high quality alternatives you can buy since a sable and charger is 30 bucks. I can't tell you what great cables would be because I use two genuine moto ones but, I can tell you to stay away from aukey. Their cables were loose fitting.

They can definitely harm your device if the cable is not wired correctly

Which is why I included the "seriously wrong" bit because I've read the articles about Benson and the cables fried his devices because the ground and power leads were reversed. The micro-usb spec is fairly safe at this point, the main issue is manufacturers screwing up usb-c cables lately.

There are 3rd party cables that are just as good or better than original. I can guarantee an Anker cable will work perfectly and not harm your phone. Even if I had an original cable I would use an Anker instead. They're probably the best you can get.
Check this out: (braided and gold plated) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anker-6ft-1...653234?hash=item2361fa5d72:g:ZBkAAOSwXshWrJei As a matter of fact, I just bought another one.

No original cable will beat that.

I've bought an anker cable but it seems turbo 2 output isn't supplied by this cable. That makes me upset? Without turbo charging its very bad

It's not the cable, it's your charger that's the problem.

I've bought this: "https://www.anker.com/products/A8133012"
I've measured charging times and compared.
I really don't understand that the cable matters for charging time or not?
I dont understand

The cable matters a lot, and the One you bought is the best from anker right now. I have one of those and use it with this charger:

Maybe, your problem is at the combination of the anker charger and the motorola wall adapter, who knows. Anyways, the best way to really compare, is to download this app (its not the most exact way but you get an idea)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere&hl=en
Let your phone drain to under 40% and connect it with the app open. If youre using the Oem Wall adapter it should go up to about 2200 o 2300, sometimes 2400. Try it and report back.

I've always stuck with genuine cables just for fear that a cheap cable would fail at fastboot flashing. My side question here, is do 3rd party cables do just fine with fastboot? Not fails or issues? Thanks!

There are very low quality cables that barely charge the phone at low speeds... Most of well known third party brands work just as the original one.

Something like a Belkin or Logitech? Or any of the brands already mentioned above?
