A-Male to right angled Mini-b USB cable

Afternoon folks, done a little googling and nothing great has come up so I thought I would throw this out. Has anyone had an "A-Male to Mini-b USB cable" built with a 90 degree bend on the mini side? I checked online with Pexon PCs and they don't do a 90 degree bend incorporated into the cable so I would need to buy an adapter.

I'm wanting to keep the routing simple for this as it'll be used mainly with my tablet and the tablet port is located to the right, pok3r port on the left. Was hoping to have a short 18" (partly coiled) cable (in white) for this specific purpose.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Nic

Built? No. But I bought a couple on Amazon a while ago. One in each orientation. Cheap and effective. I use a micro USB version on my NovaTouch so it can tuck on top of my MacBook without a hazardous tail.

I picked up a couple of cables from Amazon to splice my own. Be careful about the difference between "right angle" and "left angle". I did this to make a custom mini-USB to micro-USB OTG cable so I could plug a keyboard directly into my tablet.

I have got two with right-angled micro-USB. Once came with my Novatouch, and the other one I got on eBay.

You will find new cables with almost any conceivable combination of USB ports on eBay for very little money, but often shipped from China which could take a while.

But if you want it nicely sleeved, if Pexon PC does not have a particular cable on his web site already then just ask him for a custom job!

Cheers All, I checked with Pexon and he wont use the angled connectors as he feels the quality is inferior. I'll likely get him to do my cable and I'll finish with it plugged into an angled adapter, sprayed/color coded and then shrink-wrapped to complete the finish. Hopefully this will look better than the 6foot of cable I currently have flying about behind my tablet.
