Here is the picture:

The phone model is Samsung Galaxy SII I9100
The usb connector label is: R.C15 GT-I9100 REV2.3

There a bunch of "GT-I9100 REV2.3 R.C43 46" parts in Ebay, all of them shamelessly generic, the golden parts look extremely cheap.

Like this one:

Is it safe to buy this?
Have you done this yourself?

Original parts are extremely expensive in Ebay.
 
Go generic, take your time, and be careful. The connector which actually will go into its socket with quite a forceful "snap" is quite delicate.
 
I wouldn't know. I've used other generic parts to repair older phones than an S2 without issue in the past.
