Review on πŸ’‘ High-Quality USB Cable Cord - Compatible with Select Panasonic Lumix Digital Cameras Models - MPF Products Replacement K1HA14AD0001 K1HA14AD0003 by Marcus Hargrave

It works, although not quite as well as the OEM version

I purchased this cable to replace the OEM cable that came with the camera. This version of MPF products is 1.5 meters long, while Panasonic OEM version is 1 meter long. The camera immediately recognized the proprietary micro-USB connector, but it took a bit of fiddling for the computer to recognize the attached USB-A port. Nothing on the first try. On the second or third try it was recognized and I was able to see thumbnails of images in my file manager and transfer files from the camera to my computer. After that, it seems to connect securely every time; maybe it was just a small holdover from the cable forming process that interfered with early attempts. The USB-A connector was very tight and it took a surprising amount of force to connect to the USB-A ports on my computer and the USB jack. Center. If that were the criteria for a cable, it would be very vibration resistant, but since it's only used briefly to transfer image files between the camera and computer, it should be easier to connect. The proprietary Micro-USB connector on the end of the camera looks the same as the OEM version, so it shouldn't put undue stress on the camera's USB port.
