Can I use every USB cable With the Clip+?

SanDisk MP3 players Sansa® Clip | Sansa® Clip+

I have a cable from my camera with the same connection…but it have a big somthing round like a cylinder at the end.
I think the Clip cable is without this thing…

I ask regarding the power used etc

Clip is just mini usb, so any mini usb cable will work.

The big round thing is called a “ferrite bead”. Its purpose is to eliminate high-frequency electronic noise. It should work fine with the Clip/Clip+.

And note that the original USB cable that comes with the Clip has the ferrite bead/core (at least mine did).

The ferrule on the cable is a ferrite bead, encapsulated in plastic.  This is to reduce interference from the cable.  I’ve tested several common camera cables as well as popular mobile phone cables with good results.
