Often, OEM versions are restricted compared to the retail versions: They come without a manual, are sometimes limited functionality wise, or are modified to work only with specific hardware.
Either OEM or non-OEM will work fine though when you buy the cable. All that you may need to check is that both offer the same kind of functionality. Other than that you should be okay buying either versions. :) [ ammo's advice column | Ask ammo A Question ]
