How about Microsoft Surface Pro or Surface Pro 2?

My Windows 8 Tablet came with a Micro USB to standard USB adapter. Do I need your adapter cable?

Can I use this cable other USB devices like a USB flash drive?
Yes, this cable allows you to connect other standard USB devices like a USB thumb drive. Your tablet's Micro USB port may not provide enough power to operate larger accessories such as a USB hard drive or scanner for example.
Does this adapter work with my tablet?
