Is the USB Male A to USB Micro A the required Pi power cable? I cannot get a Male B to remain inserted!

The power cable you are looking for will have a USB Micro B at one end(Which plugs into the Pi). Also most phones(except for the iPhone) today have the USB MicroB jack as well.
Heres a picture of USB MicroB
The other end is a USB Type A.
But you might find a power adapter with just a MicroB plug at the end of the wire and a wall socket plug at the other end.
So ideally, you would want a USB A to MicroB cable.
Also heres a quick reference to the plugs
If you cant get it to remain inserted, its mostly a problem with your cable. Try another cable(your phone charger?) and see if it holds, if yes then its time to get a new cable!
