Works well with my Kindle Fire 10
I recently purchased an Amazon Kindle Fire 10. My phone has little storage and I wanted something portable that would take video and pictures I could then upload easily to my computer. The Fire works well for that purpose, but I got tired of transporting the charging cord from room to room. I charge my Kindle Fire in my bedroom where I use it most, but my computer is in our office. I also like having a back up cable on hand in case something happens to the original. So I purchased the Amazon Kindle Fire 5 ft. USB to Micro-USB Cable to keep in the office.This is a high quality cable that works well for transferring pictures and video to my computer. I leave it plugged into my computer at all times and then just plug in the Kindle Fire when I need to transfer content. The cable feels sturdy, albeit a bit stiff, and I expect it to last a long time. It is 5 feet long, which is nice because I can use and maneuver my Kindle Fire while it is plugged into my computer. The black plastic construction matches the look and feel of my Kindle Fire in its black case. I was glad to find a cable manufactured specifically for my Kindle Fire because that gives me the confidence to know I shouldn’t have any compatibility issues that might shorten the life of my Kindle Fire Battery. I have purchased many name brand cables before and they are often expensive. This cable was half the price of other name brand cables at the time I purchased it which I believe was a good value. I am glad I own it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I finally have the correct cable for my Fire tablet.
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2016
Verified Purchase
I still have my first Kindle Fire, which apparently never worked correctly, but how could I know, when I had never had one before? It went through cables as if it was eating them, but I expected more from the shiny new Fire. It runs well and has a pretty good GUI (graphical user interface), but keeping it charged has been a problem. I went through two (maybe three) cables before getting this one.

What a difference! I can actually feel and almost hear when this jack gets seated in the charging receptacle. Always before I was nursing the damned thing to make sure it stayed in. Then I had to wedge the plug with a flat stick or heavy cardboard to keep it straight in its outlet, to jeep it from wiggling out of making the connection to charge. After going two days not touching the damned thing--just leaving it untouched after carefully arranging the cable with its jack wedge to keep the proper angle so the charging icon stayed on, then relieving any stress from the cable on the jack by securing the cable in a loose loop, and finally backing slowly and quietly so as not to disturb anything--I turned it on and I got the red battery on the black background! No words or numbers even! It actually LOST the 20% or so of power it had when I walked away, and it went down to almost nothing while it was supposed to be charging for two days.

I called Amazon and talked to customer support, telling him he HAD to find me a cable that actually fit the bloody machine so I could charge it--and so HE had to pick one out. And I would get it. But I wouldn't PAY for it, because I had already gone through this at least once (I really think twice) before, always buying the one Amazon recommended--only not to have it work.

So he picked one, he placed the order, it went through my account with me paying for it, and then he arranged the refund. And it works. It's even longer than the previous one, which had literally kept me on a short leash. Now I have five feet, I am tangibly certain that the jack has seated in the receptacle, and life with Fire is good again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most reliable (longest-lasting) USB to Micro-USB cable I've ever owned!
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2016

This is the most reliable USB to Micro-USB cable I have ever owned! I have no idea why, because it does not appear higher quality or distinctive from any other cable, but it just keeps on working. I got one with my Kindle in early 2014 and have used it since then to charge various Micro-USB devices including my Kindle and my Android phone. I got a new phone in 2015, and the Samsung cable that came with that phone stopped working less than a year later, while my 3+ year old Kindle cable is still going! I have bought several cheaper cables to have as a backup, and all of them have lasted less than 6 months, including the ones with a fabric corded cable that supposedly helps longevity. So instead of paying $1-$5 for crappy cables that last less than a year, I've now bought a second one of these for $9.99. A great price for a cable that lasts longer than any other one I've owned.

I did have an issue with a kitty chewing on one of the ends. It still works but occasionally I get a message on my phone that the cable is not optimal and it is charging slowly. However, this is pretty rare, and most of the time it still works perfectly. I have my second one now as a backup but the original one is still working after 3+ years and a cat attack!

Note: I paid full price for this and was not compensated in any way for my review.

I bought this for my Kindle Fire HDX 7" tablet - I don't know anything about "generations", but my tablet was purchased new in 2014, if that helps. I was initially disappointed, because it didn't seem to want to insert. After some manipulation, I discovered that it does go in, but at a slight angle. There is a clear "click" when it hits home, then it charges just fine. The connection is very firm. Some cords I've bought in the past would pull out so easily that my cats disconnected them by batting the cable . One cord had to be manually held in place to work at all. This one takes a firm tug to disconnect. I am trying to remember to pull it out at the same angle it goes in, though, so I don't damage it.

The longer cord is important to me because I spend way too much time sitting on my duff playing tower defense games, which seem to suck up a lot of battery power. I find it's best to stay connected while I play - nothing worse than getting that "connect to a charger" warning in the middle of an intense battle! This one does the job. Six feet would have been better, but I knew this was only five feet when I bought it, so I'm not taking away a star for that.

All in all, a good purchase . I'm just a bit put off by having it insert at an angle - I'll update if there are any related problems in the future.

Suelo tener siempre al menos 2 cargadores para mi celular, desde que tengo android utilizaba casi siempre mi cargador original (samsung) por la alta velocidad de carga para mi equipo y tengo cargadores secundarios que solo utilizo en caso de emergencia ya que son mucho más lentos, mi cargador original lo intenté suplir con otros productos y no encontraba algo similar, sin embargo, decidí probar este cable de la marca de casa y me sorprendió: resistente, bonito y sobretodo rápido, incluso diría que más que el original de mi equipo.

No se arrepentirán de la compra, probablemente compraré otro pronto.

En cuánto a logística no hay mucho que decir, como siempre, Amazon EXCELENTE.
