Why is the MIXIT↑ 30-Pin to USB Charge Sync Cable less expensive than the Belkin 30-Pin Charge Sync Cable (2 m/6.6 ft.)? Are there any differences in performance or other features? I have an iPad3 and need to replace my cord and charging outlet and am trying to decide which cord to purchase.
Only buy a cord if it's certified to work with your device - those cheaper cables often aren't and can damage the device or may stop working after an iOS update.

I'd go for the Belkin, simply because like Kensington and Targus they have a good track record.
Both cords are Belkin products. the MIXIT↑ 30-Pin to USB Charge Sync Cable is available on the Belkin website for $19. the Belkin 30-Pin Charge Sync Cable (2 m/6.6 ft.) is sold for $24 at the Apple Store and other stores that sell this product. I still don't understand why one is more expensive than the other nor what the difference is between the two which are both stated to be compatible with the iPad3.
Then I'd suggest you look at the specs on the belkin site for a clue. Is one longer than the other? Could the price difference be a 3 foot cord vs a 6 foot cord?
You're correct. The Mixit 30-Pin cable is 4 feet long and the other one is 6 feet long. Hard to tell whether or not there are any function differences, but I think not except Apple doesn't sell the MIXIT cable.
Thanks!

I'm sure they'll both work fine. You'll just need to decide if 4 ft is long enough or if you'd prefer the 6 ft one.
Anything Belkin makes should be just fine.
