Nexus 7 Cables

Need a replacement cable for the Nexus 7? The tablet comes with a sync/charge cable in the box, but the chances are you’ll lose this, or perhaps you want another one to keep at work.

Fortunately the mobile manufacturers have got together to use a standard “Micro USB” format and you might even have a few of these spare lying around at home (perhaps from an old mobile phone).

Can you recommend a cheap cable that works well? We’d love to hear from you, you can either leave a comment below or join in the conversation in our accessories forum.

If you are looking to plug in other devices via full size USB cables, you’ll need an OTG USB Cable.
