5ft Micro USB Fast Charger Cable - Compatible with Barnes & Noble Nook Tablets & More
Quick take
This 5ft Micro USB fast charger cable is built to power select Barnes & Noble Nook readers and a wide range of older Samsung tablets and phones that use a Micro USB charging port. It supports up to 5V 2A (10W) charging and includes short-circuit, over-current, and multi-protect safety features. The biggest buying caveat is compatibility: it is not for USB-C devices, and it is not compatible with certain Nook HD models.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Long 5ft length for bedside or desk use
- Up to 5V 2A (10W) charging capability
- 23 AWG low-impedance copper core wire for efficient power delivery
- Safety protections listed: short circuit and over-current, plus a multi-protect system
Cons
- Not compatible with USB-C devices, and it will not fit USB-C ports
- Not compatible with Nook HD 7 and HD Plus 9 models
- Some Nook Color users may not see an on-screen “charging” indicator while it charges
- “Fast charging” depends on your device and the charger you use
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence is limited to a handful of recent comments, but the recurring themes are straightforward. People describe the cable as easy to use and functioning well as a replacement charger, especially for reviving older Nook tablets and charging reliably at home. Some buyers also mention it as a practical extra cable (for a car or backup), which suggests the length and “spare cable” use case fits common expectations. Because the review sample is small, overall sentiment about charging speed is less certain than compatibility and basic functionality.
Who this cable is for
If you have an older e-reader or device that uses a Micro USB port, this cable is a practical replacement option, particularly for:
- Barnes & Noble Nook devices including GlowLight 3, GlowLight Plus, selected Nook tablets and models listed in the compatibility list
- Older Samsung tablets and phones that use Micro USB (including many Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Note models from the earlier generations listed)
- Anyone who wants a longer 5ft cable for charging from a wall outlet without strain
Compatibility you should double-check
This cable is firmly positioned as a Micro USB solution, not a USB-C one. It also calls out specific exclusions for certain Nook models. Before you buy, confirm:
- Your device port is Micro USB (not USB-C).
- Your exact Nook model is compatible, since Nook HD 7 and HD Plus 9 are listed as not compatible.
- Charging indicator behavior for some Nook Color users, since the cable may not trigger a visible “charging” message on-screen. The guidance is that charging still occurs, but the indicator may be absent.
Charging performance and power details
Key power specs include an output of 5V 2A (with an output rating up to 10W), plus support for multiple lower current levels (5V 1.5A, 5V 1A, and down to 5V 0.1A). The cable is described as using 23 AWG low-impedance wires, and it includes several listed protections such as short circuit protection and over-current protection. The “up to 10% to 50% faster” claim is best treated as a conditional performance improvement, because real-world charging speed will still depend on your device’s charging requirements and the wall adapter you pair with the cable.
Design, build, and everyday usability
At 5ft long, the cable is designed for convenience, especially for tabletop or bedside setups. The cord is described as using a copper core and built for durability, with a low-creasable, free-winding style intended to reduce tangles in daily use. The connector is Micro USB (5 pins), using a male-to-male cable configuration.
Pros and cons recap
- Best for: replacement charging for compatible Nook readers and older Micro USB Samsung devices, especially when you want a 5ft cable length.
- Good fit if you need: a straightforward, long Micro USB power cable with listed safety protections.
- Not a great fit if you have: USB-C-only devices, or a Nook HD 7 / HD Plus 9 model.
