I'm trying to find some OEM micro USB cables from either HTC or HP. I've bought cables before from Monoprice, ebay, etc but I find the thicker cables too heavy for the micro USB jack. I think the weight of the cable can ruin the micro USB jack.
I've searched quite a bit and everything either seems to be the cheap thick cables and/or a misrepresentation of what they are selling.
Does anyone know of a seller that sells OEM cables at a fair price?

It's the 5-pin one.
It's actually stated on the Desire's specs page on HTC.com

Edit: My bad! As mentioned by below posters, it should be 5-pin micro USB

Both of the linked cabled say they're mini-USB, I'm fairly sure the Desire uses "Micro" USB (Even smaller ).
Still waiting on my Desire to arrive, but the HTC site says micro too.
neither will fit, as above you need micro usb leads.
i just bought a couple of blackberry data ones from ebay (very cheap)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nokia-CA-101-Micro-Data-Cable/dp/B000U6QPFI
I bought 2 of these ones and they seem to be pretty good. Even having a built in clip to wind up the cable.
I confirm, Nokia CA-101D cable is working fine with Desire
bought a blackberry data cable for my desire off ebay for 99p brand new free postage , came in a few days and works fine.
My advice search ebay for
MICRO USB DATA CABLE
highlight buy it nows
then click lowest price first, then thats where i found my 99pencer lol
I bought a cheap alternative usb cable to leave in work for charging, it lasted about 3 days till it packed in, same happened to a cheaper lead a mate bought.
Ive got loads of converters , eg the black berry ones... a few quid there fine ...
Has anyone seen a U-shaped USB head, such that the charger cable can be directed downward from the charge port. I have bent and taped mine original charger cable but it looks a bit clunky. Seems like all Galaxy owners would be interested in this 50 cent item.
Not sure about U-shaped. But there are plenty of right angled micro USB cables out there.
I'm looking for a USB 'B' (the one that looks like a square) to micro to connect my s3 to a DAC. I know that there a micro to female USB, and USB A->B, but I'd rather not have to deal with all that for convince. Is there anywhere I can get the cable I'm looking for?
Or if anyone knows where I can get the 2 connectors I could make it myself, but I haven't found someone who sells decently priced USB connectors.
For the DIY soldering required end of things check out SparkFun https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9614 (the have other parts as well).
I got some from E-bay a while back as well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140737641542&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160
For all things cable related the answer is usually http://www.monoprice.com/. The definitive supplier of good quality reasonably priced cables.
I cant find any such cable, why not just use the converter cables?
all you need is a male micro to female usb type a and you can use your regular usb male a to usb male b cable
you can get it pretty cheap on amazon
you can try to make your own, if you already have these spare cables you will have to sacrifice them
here are the pin diagrams http://www.allpinouts.org/index.php/USB_-_Universal_Serial_Bus (the 11 pin micro usb model is used for hdmi out)
you might want to read through this thread as well as it asking the same thing you want (just a mini-b instead of b)

Hooking one end of a USB cable type to another end is uber easy.
Just splice the four wires together.
Tape it up if you don't solder.
Otherwise, the Headfi link posted above is a good start. Those guys are always looking up weird ways to hook up the phone to a DAC. Here's another good thread where I remember someone looking for something similar to what you are. It's buried deep in a zillion page thread though.

Hi guys,
I googled around and searched this forum but I can't seem to find a good answer to my problem. I'm looking for high quality micro usb cables, which perform as well as the stock charging cable and that can also be used to transfer data.
I also want it to be at least 2m long.
I'm looking for the cable itself, not a wall charger.
Can you point me towards brands/amazon links?
Thanks!
i get my cables from mono price dot com and they work great, many options.
many local shops can also carry cables, but i rather have 15 good cables, than paying over $20 for one great cable
What's everyone's thoughts on this adapter? Think it will work on the OnePlus 2? I'm temped to pick one up since it's so cheap.

its the wrong one dont you want micro usb in and type c out not usb in
From what I've seen USB otg doesn't work ATM, it was ballsed up a few updates ago
Should work fine though once it's been sorted
EBay some micro USB to USB-C adapters. EBay is your friend ?

Only the original Oneplus Type-C adapter is working with otg. It seems, this is not a bug, it´s a feature.
Other adapters can only be used for standard data transfer and charging.

So is Amazon... I ordered 3 USB-C cables for $9 each.
i think otg cable from orzly is also working in OP2

I got a three micro b to type c adaptors on EBay from the exotic far east. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=301725222332&alt=web
They do reasonably well with power xfer, sketchy to adequate on data xfer (depending on which example), but are a bit fragile with a hard and slightly brittle plastic. Using the OPO cable or a 1m Kopi cable I can sustain 1750+mah until the phone throttles back the charging rate (measured with USB multimeter and Battery Monitor Widget).
I expect that a better quality adaptor would be more rugged but not have huge performance gains outside of connection stability (quite important if you need to xfer large amounts of data in small chunks.
