That's 4 and a half feet long Jared... I think Gary's looking for one a bit shorter
Oh brainfart... for some reason thought it was inches

Yeah, prices are pretty high. They also don't tel;l you what the connectors actually are which is worrying.
I'm actually thinking of butchering one of my long UC-E6 cords and fitting a new USB plug nearer the end.
I can get short ones of the others so that might do the job for me.
I think we'll all look forward to the Utopian future when all these sods bang their heads together and decide to use the same connectors.

Banggood as long USB A to UC-E6 cables for £1.40 http://www.banggood.com/Wholesale-N...or-3200-3700-4100-Coolpix-Camera-p-18056.html
It's always the high end expensive makers that come up with new connectors like Apple. They recently patented a new headphone connector, because in their opinion the 2.5mm jack is too big.
So they flattened it a bit. So standard pair of headphones will not be able to plug into any devices that use the new socket. Though new headphones with the new jack can fit the older socket.
Insane.
No... it's called captive marketing to your products so they can screw the last penny out of you...
I have a set of powertraveller stuff which i find pretty useful. They do micro USB and lightning in one short 15cm cable, plus you can buy whatever tips you want (£10 for about 19 tips) to go on their USB power cables, mains adapter, car adapter or their various power bricks. Then you can add a tiny LED torch (lightmonkey) unit etc. too.
Monkey tails are short (15cm) and very rugged but bendy versions of the most common cables too.
Not the cheapest in the world but work very well and seem to cover most options that i can see.
Just scroll through their accessories list:

Sorry, I'm not sure on that. I use them for power only so have never considered the data use. It doesn't mention data so i guess its not guaranteed for that.
