Is the power cable a standard mini or micro USB or is is a proprietary jack? Has anybody used alternate power cords?

Hello. The GoSafe 110 uses a micro USB jack. We do not recommend using alternative power cords. We supply the cord and will not honor the warranty if using a cord while driving other than the one we supply just in case there are some major issues that arise. You can safely use a power bank to power up the device if you would like to take it out of the car. I hope this answers your questions. Kind Regards, ~Team PAPAGO!

The standard cable is the old style serial cable, though I've heard that there are USB ones either available, or you can buy an adapter.

Mini and micro USB are different. Micro is the more common but this device uses a mini USB. I would suggest amazon for a new mini USB cord. http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-2-0-Cable--Male/dp/B00NH11N5A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431465887&sr=8-1&keywords=mini+usb

One end of the mini usb cable will fit into a universal a/c power plug adapter. I use the same one that i use for my sansa mp3 player.

The power cord is micro USB on the end that plugs into the unit and standard USB on the other end. I used an extra adapter from my previous Samsung phone to plug the unit into the wall and it works great everytime.

I just checked to verify and it is mini USB. See this photo to confirm the cord type: http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn212/radioraiders/mini-micro-usb-connector.gif

Well, I don't imagine it matters what you plug in PROVIDING it's a standard size USB connection. You could call the vendor.

I am not sure whether you are questioning the cable or the connection on your PC. if shipped properly, the cable is a standard USB. However, if they shipped the old style units, the cable would be an old printer cable (IEEE 488) which is not found on most modern PC's. I bought this unit that is linked to the photo on this question and it was USB and worked fine. You may be referring to the second piece of the power cable as it comes as a short cable to teh transformer, then the transformer and a longer cable to the wall socket. One other possibility would be that the USB cable provide was not the large flat connect but rather the small six sided tube-like USB mini connector. If that is the case, they packed the wrong cable. Do not have enough info to give you a good answer.

I usually just use a standard USB Micro B cable and a USB Charger adapter. It seems to work just fine and I haven't had any problems.

Totally standard USB. I use it to charge my Samsung Galaxy tablet when on the road or I could charge a second phone. Very handy charger.

It is a standard mini usb cord. You can get them on Amazon or in Walgreens, CVS, etc.

It uses the standard - the larger one - Mini Plug -- NOT the newer Micro plugs

it's mini usb with a wall charger. It is proprietary - you must use the wall charger that is supplied or it will not charge. It does not charge while plugged into the usb port of the computer either.

It is standard micro usb. You likely already have one, especially if you have a phone other than iPhone. If not amazon sells them cheaply or you can visit a local retailer.

I think it is Micro USB but I am not certain. Sorry I can't be more useful.
