Could maybe just be bad luck but I had at least one micro B USB cable that was picky about how it was plugged in. It would blink green at times (assuming this meant power but no data connection) and other times it would make the Windows device manager go crazy reconnecting in pattern. I have a handful of SignalHound units and used the other units cables just fine.
I don’t like the idea of a thin, flat cable to where I’m worried about bending/snapping it vertically while carrying/using it out in the field. I haven’t had good experiences with other USB 3 micro B devices as well, such as external hard drives.
