Any Micro USB cable should do. Have you tried using this driver used on a managed switch? Please click here.

I have added the driver that you have linked to.

Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge is present.

Now to figure out the port settings to communicate.

You have to find the virtual COM port on the Windows system - however, both PuTTY and Hyperterminal should "see" it.
