I would caution you against third party cables. It was discovered that the chinese were/are embedding chips into the charging cable that would infect the iPhone/iPad with malicious firmware. YMMV.
That's just perfect, buy a cord and end up with malware, gotta love China.
Thanks for the heads up j4c11
