I ordered with the cable because the original cable is so short. The cable makes a real good impression. It is well made, especially the cable itself is thicker than the original, so that cable breaks should not be an issue. Have it already in unschiedlichen occasions used, it proved especially by the length because the Stronanschluss is under Wrote table or in the car, as a free cigarette lighter socket is with me still in the trunk (the other is through the Navi occupied). Especially for use in the car the cable thickness find good, as it is not so easily breaks. Only at first time you connect to the Tab it was a bit hakelig, but is now also ok.
