Cables I use to connect pen tablets

Overview

I hate plugging and unplugging different cables when I use many pen tablets, so I standardized on specific USB 2.0 cables instead of using the manufacturer cables. Details on the exact cables and brands are below.

These cables are NOT suitable for pen displays (screen tablets) as they cannot carry a video signal.

Notes

I use these cables for many devices, such as pen tablets, keyboards, speakers, and microphones. They work well for devices that need a little power and a small amount of data transfer.

As USB 2.0 cables, they are not meant for high-speed data transfer. I usually do not use them to transfer files from a phone because faster options exist.

• There is nothing special about them. I just liked that they came in a bright blue color. I use that color to organize my cables. Whenever I see that color, I know what kind of device the cable is for.

• The cables are a little stiff, so they do not lay flat easily on a desk.

• They are available in multiple colors and lengths. I usually get the 3 ft and 6 ft versions.

• These cables are very pliable. They lay flat on a desk.

• They are available in black and several light pastel colors.

• They are available in 3 ft and 5 ft lengths.

And I use these cables with many other devices that only need USB 2.0 connectivity.
