ABLEGRID USB 2.0 A to Mini-B Cable 1.2 m Black

SKU CH-1VMV-T872G

A 1.2 m USB 2.0 A-to-Mini-B cable with braid-and-foil shielding and moulded strain relief for interference-free data transfer

  • High-speed USB 2.0 data transfer
  • 2 m length for flexible desktop reach
  • Braid-and-foil shield blocks EMI/RFI interference
  • Molded strain relief protects connectors during daily use
  • Wide compatibility with cameras, phones and MP3 players

What the cable connects

This ABLEGRID cable links a USB Type-A port to a Mini-B 5-pin port at USB 2.0 speed. It suits owners of older cameras, GPS units, MP3 players or Western Digital drives that still use the Mini-B interface. The 1.2 m length gives enough reach for desk use without excess slack. Check your device port before buying because Micro-B and Mini-B are not interchangeable.

Sustained transfer behaviour

Braid-and-foil shielding guards against EMI and RFI interference during long copy sessions. Molded strain relief protects the joints when the cable is moved repeatedly while a drive stays connected. The flexible jacket resists kinking so signal quality remains stable over hours of continuous data movement. No active electronics are present so performance depends entirely on the host controller and device.

Deciding specification

The connector pair is USB A male to USB Mini B 5-pin male. If your equipment requires a Micro-B, USB-C or proprietary plug this cable will not fit. The 1.2 m length is fixed and cannot be extended without an additional adapter. Verify the port shape on your device against the Mini-B 5-pin standard before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the 1.2 m USB 2.0 cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power during all-day data transfers?

The cable is passive and rated for USB 2.0 speeds, so it adds no active heat and draws only the standard bus power required by the connected device.

What port must my computer already have to use this USB A male to Mini-B male cable?

Your computer needs a standard USB Type-A port; the cable plugs directly into it without adapters.

Will this 5-pin Mini-B cable work with my older WD drive that uses part number 4064-705050-00?

Yes, the supplier lists that WD part number as compatible, so the Mini-B connector fits the drive’s original port.
