Default Would this cable work for the kindle fire?

It is highly doubtful that would work for what I assume you want it to do. Namely, outputting the screen to an HDMI display.

If it works, let me know. That would be awesome.

I bought this cable from the same store.

I purchased it when I got my Galaxy Nexus, it works great with that unit.

I was hoping it would work with Kindle Fire as well. Unfortunately I have not had any sucess it getting it to work with the Kindle Fire. I have tried with the following ROMs:

Stock ROM (Both unrooted & rooted)
ICS ROM (gede v1.35, v1.45)

I will continue to try out this cable with the Kindle Fire as I update its ROM and will let you guys know it I ever get it working.

Have you tried it with Hashcode's latest CM9 build? That's the only one that supports USB OTG properly. I know its not a OTG cable, but it could act like one..

I am currently running gedeROM v1.45 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1619550).

I thought this was running the latest CM9 build, please let me know if I am mistaken.
