Best cable to use with GL300B and P3P - any good choices?

[the2048]

I've been having occasional video dropouts with certain USB to microUSB cables. So far I've tested a few that I own and I've found this out:

• No name 6 foot USB cable - tons of dropouts and corruption
• LG stock USB cable from Stylo 3 Plus - very little issues, occasional corruption
• 1 foot USB cable, no name - ZERO issues whatsoever.

Are there any recommendations from anyone for cables? I'd prefer as short as possible, but at least 1 inch of slack.

Any reason not to use this cable? It sounds like it's working as expected.

It feels like it would fall out of my phone if it were bumped or knocked slightly. I don't have this issue with my other USB cables.

What phone and what type of USB socket does it have?
If you have a phone with a USB 3 socket (the double one) use a USB 3 data/charger cable. Such a cable gives me the best results with a Samsung S5 and feels more secure than a std micro USB cable which is an alternative for that phone.

There are probably lots of good Micro USB cables available. I have a few of these Anker cables. They've been working just fine with my Android devices.
