will this work on the hand helds? like the UV-5R?

No, it does not work with my UV5RE, but does work with the UV-2501.

My radio doesn't do anything when I plug the cable in.

Your radio will do nothing when you plug it in. You need to use chirp to communicate with the radio. You have to have Chirp installed. Go to chirp.danplanet.com and download the latest version. When you plug the cable into the computer it will choose a I/O port. You need to go to your control panel and find out what port it connected to. Chirp will need to be given the port to communicate with the radio. Then you have to use Chirp to download the current configuration, modify the configuration and upload it to the radio. There are several youtube clips which give step by step instructions.

I saw where this cable can be used to program the juentai jt-6188 plus. can anyone verify that this true? thanks.

I have not heard this but I doubt it.
