    Hard to say with the info you provided.  Is your shuffle the current 4th gen model, or older?  This document shows the four shuffle models

     

    Identify your iPod model - Apple Support

     

    You cannot use a USB docking cable for 3rd/4th gen shuffle with 2nd gen shuffle.  The connector (the plug) is different.  There are third-party (not from Apple) replacement cables, but if you have a 3rd or 4th gen shuffle, it needs to be described as being for 3rd/4th gen shuffle.  There are cheap docking cables for 2nd gen shuffle that look like the short cable that comes with 4th gen shuffle.

     

    Also, some cheap cables are exactly that... cheap.
