As VC said, the cheaper ones are horrible!

The only one we eventually got to work was a Mever brand one my work got for around R250!

Theres a company called the cable guy in Randburg strijdom park.

They will make up one for you, and you can test it until it works, they can make anything for devices to communicate.
