I bought this cable to replace the original cable that I lost. It works as expected and no problems have been encountered. The cable itself is fairly thin but durable and doesn't feel flimsy. IIRC, the OEM cable is a bit thicker. The mini-USB end of the cable connects easily to my tablet. There is some wobble, but not loose enough to cause connection issues when shuffling/moving/rearranging the tablet. I would have preferred if it was more reliable and tighter. The only other issue with the 6.5ft cable is that I wish it was a little longer. Can be around 7-8 feet long. My computer is on my right and I'm left-handed, so the tablet's USB port is on my left, which requires a little more freedom of movement. The 12ft cable option is too long for my use. Otherwise, it's a good cable replacement. Would recommend to anyone looking to replace or keep as a spare.
