USB a to USB B or C short connector?

[dlrdmd]

I had Thunderdrone repair my remote controller charging port. Using a regular microUSB eventually damaged the port. Thunderdrone did a very quick and fast turnaround. Rather than waiting to damage the port again I am trying to find a short USB A to USB B connector that can be left plugged into the controller. Then I would just have to plug in a standard USB cable to charge the remote without constantly plugging into the remotes port.

Has anyone seen something like this on Amazon?

Not saying to get this one, but is this what you're looking for?

@dlrdmd check out this magnetic cable from Amazon. I have a few of them and they work great for charging, but not for data. You just plug the end of the cable into your controller and leave it there. When you want to charge, you just put the cable near the plug and it pulls the cable right into the plug magnetically from around an inch away. One caveat, once you put the plug into the controller, try not to take it out too often. Its a PITA to get out! lol But it will save your Micro USB port.

Good point, my bad, maybe I should have. If I didnt mention it to him, it was not on purpose or malevolent in any way.

In my defense, I have been touting this cable for months already here, and have posted about it and different cables in many different posts. I might not have mentioned it to him, but I have mentioned it to thousands of others and probably saved their controllers.

Here is one of my posts that has been viewed a few thousand times.

With the part you plug in and let in your RC being Magnetic why would they not mess up the Magnetics in the RC controller?

Nope. The sticks are protected by shielding all around the stick area. I have been all around the controller with the end plug of the cable and also with a supermagnet and no interference was observed.

Sound good Rob, I think I will give them a try.
I like the idea of not pluging something in and out all the time!

Hush! If the word gets around I might be out of business! joking!

I always have peoples best interests at heart. My drone repair business is almost a charity hahaha

He did a great job. He did mention the port problem. I would recommend Thunderdrome to anyone needing repairs. Much better than Mavic repairs. I ordered the magnetic charger from Amazon.

I appreciate that.

I returned to Amazon the NetDot cables, because they didn't "click" in place, they were very loose and were disconnected every time I removed the cable from my usb device.

Now I'm trying from another vendor, but they cannot charge my iOS devices.
Possibly I'm unlucky.

Yes I think unlucky. I have bought a few dozen of them, and never had a problem. The Netdot ones are ok, but I have bought other brands without the light on them, and they work well too.
