Hi everyone.

As you have probably realised, the USB port on the swift is slightly deeper than the standard.

I thought it would be useful to start this thread with cables that I have tried and whether they worked.

Asus Nexus 7 2012 Micro USB cable, works perfectly, this port is also a little recessed.

Anker Braided, fits fine but doesn't have the same hold on the port as the original or the N7. But better than most.

Aukey Micro USB, these are cheap and fit like the original WileyFox cable. I hadn't heard of them before, image below to help interested parties find them.

OnePlus Micro USB cable, I figured it was the same as the WileyFox cable as visually similar design, I had one from my old OnePlus One, it is not the same reach though.

In short, I think any 8mm cable will do the trick, share any others that you have found below.

I use RAVpower 5 pack. It fits perfectly and I have 5 different lengths.

Hey
When my swift cable broke I switched to a Lumia 520 USB cable. That cable has a nice hold to the swift.

The cable provided with my girlfriend's RavPower external battery is a perfect fit.

my Sony USB from my last phone (Experia Miro) works fine, the one for mt Sony RX-100 is touch and go as it's a little shorter.

I've not had any issues with USB's for phones so far

from a mech eng point of view I'm not a fan of the Wiley USB as a longer male terminal means it's more likely to damage the internals if it gets a whack as it has more leverage, hence I only use the WileyWhite at home. The Miro USB gets used most, plugged into my works PC

Anker Cables seem to fit nicely. I got mine bundled with the PowerCore 10000.

Any rubber cables I have such as the one I had for my S2 I just cut off a bit of the end and now the cable fits fine. Although my Oneplus X cable works without any modifications
