Best place to buy computer cables.

[sturg]

So Amazon let me down again, and I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a good place to find oddball cables. Specifically, I am looking for a 1ft. Usb-c to usb-c, with one end being a right angle. I'm trying to connect a EHD that's attached with velcro to the lid on my laptop.

I think this is what you are looking for https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QYPZBNH/?tag=macforums0e4-20

It took me a couple of tweaks to get the right search phrase.

BTW This is a great place to go for cables. IIRC I have gotten good tech support on the rare occasion I've had to call them. Your One-Stop-Shop for Cables, Connectors, Kits & More | C2G

I bought that, but the package "was not able to be delivered" and they are crediting my account. Sometimes Amazon doesn't come through, and this was not the first time that's happened to me. Ty for the other suggestion. I will check it out.

There is also Monoprice.

I second @rman suggestion about Monoprice. They have just about every conceivable type of cable or adapter. Give them a try.

www.monoprice.com

Good point; I didn't think to include them in my earlier post. I've used both companies before as well with excellent results.

Both companies have a bewildering assortment of cables and connectors, so it helps to have some idea of what you need. If you aren't sure what you need, give either of them a call.

For Canadians I would suggest primecables

They have a good selection and also carry many Monoprice cables

Those are both one of the first places I would have tried.

PS: don't forget to check with some of your better local Dollar stores, we have one locally that carries excellent quality cables and variation selections. Maybe that is because the owner's husband is a computer technician.

Sounds like a one-off delivery issue - and Amazon-speak for "we lost the package". Why not just try again?
