What model of usb micro cable is this?

[ringo]

I order 2 usb micro cablee from ebay and got this:

 

 

It has very long micro usb piece, it cannot enter full in my tablet and mobile phone and it cannot active charging. Only thing it can activate (but not enter whole) is my digital clock. Is this some kind of special cable or I got two defective cables?

Probably defective or something designed for a specific device

Can you show it end on, so we can see the shape.

So should I throw them away in garbage?

It's dead unless you can solder.

It looks like a micro B connector

 

 

You said it doesn't plug into your devices? Or it does but doesn't charge them?

It's just a micro USB "b" cable, as the other guy mentioned it's probably longer to fit a certain device is all, so if you still need to connect that device keep it, if not you might as well throw it out as it's no good for anything else unfortunately. I have had ones like that too, I'm more careful with what devices I get nowadays and try to avoid those type of bespoke connectors... I'm guessing that the port on the device was set back int he case a ways, so made it unusable with regular micro b cables. I hate that.

it plugs in them (but large part stay out of device) but won`t charge.

 

Here is the original ebay link for that cable:

Ah.. if the devices have no problems charging otherwise, I agree with what was said above (defective product). I would say to contact the seller on eBay (and you still could I guess..) But with the listing price that low, I'm surprised you actually got a product to be honest...

seller/ebay help expired, I bought this 2 months ago, didn`t use it until now (changed position of furniture).

 

So even if its different connector it should (but it won`t) charge my phone and tablet, otherwise defective cable? I thought to kept it as backup option if I ever encounter device for this but if it wont charge that probably defective?

It's just a cheapo cable. You can get one for 70 cents on monoprice and it'll work.
