Review on 🔌 Monoprice 10ft USB 2.0 A Male to Mini-B 5Pin Male Cable with Ferrite Core - Gold Plated (105449) by Charles Collier

I ordered these cables because they have a ferrite coil. The mini-B connector will not connect to my Garmin nüvi 40LM or 50LM GPS devices. I have many other Garmin and non-Garmin mini-B cables that connect to Garmin receivers with no problem. Two identical Monoprice cables I ordered three years ago fit perfectly. I ordered one in March 2018 and it doesn't fit in the socket of one of the Garmin receivers. I ordered two more on July 6, 2018 thinking I accidentally received a bad one, but something has changed in the manufacturing process. The size of the mini-B connector is the same, but the side with the hole is bent into the connector, reducing the distance between the pins and the other side. This seems to be the cause of the problem. I can't use them and they are non-refundable. I will have to give them up.
