This one worked out perfectly for what I needed it for

It appears identical in construction to the Apple cord that came with the device

 iXCC 10ft EXTRA LONG 30 Pin to USB SYNC and Charge Cable Cord for Apple iPhone 4/4s, iPod 1-6 Gen, iPod 1-4 Gen, iPad 1-3 Gen Works great and I can use my Ipad and sit across the room with it plugged in

Good quality for the money

The plastic coating splits and electrician's tape can only protect the wires within for a short time before they fray and break, rendering the cord useless

However, my cable still intact after a year! I've purchased this brand several times
