Connection and shielding

This ten-foot cable links a USB 2.0 Type-A port to a 5-pin Mini-B port using 28AWG conductors. Double shielding with braid and foil protects the signal over the full length. The male-to-male design fits legacy peripherals such as older cameras, external drives and printers. Model 103897 is supplied new in black.

Suits legacy Mini-B devices only

It serves owners of hardware that still uses the Mini-B 5-pin interface and need a 10 ft reach. Buyers whose equipment requires Micro-B, USB-C or full-size Type-B connectors cannot use this cable. Anyone needing a shorter or longer run should select a different length.

USB 2.0 Type-A to Mini-B 5-pin

The decisive specification is the connector pairing: USB 2.0 Type-A male on one end and USB Mini-B 5-pin male on the other. Only devices equipped with that exact Mini-B port will connect.
