What this cable does

The StarTech USB2HABM3 is a USB 2.0 cable with a USB Type-A male connector on one end and a 5-pin Mini USB Type-B male connector on the other. It is designed to connect compatible digital cameras, camcorders, or other Mini USB portable devices to a host computer for file transfer. The cable measures 3 ft in length and supports data rates up to 480 Mbits/sec.

Check your device port before ordering

Verify that your camera or portable device uses a 5-pin Mini USB Type-B port, as this cable will not fit Micro USB or USB-C sockets. The host computer must provide a standard USB Type-A port; both PC and Mac systems are supported. No driver installation is required for basic mass-storage transfer on modern operating systems.

Behaviour during long transfers

The cable operates at USB 2.0 High Speed specification, sustaining up to 480 Mbits/sec for the duration of a transfer. Signal integrity is maintained over the 3 ft run without active electronics, so extended copy sessions from high-capacity cameras remain stable. The molded strain relief on each connector resists wear from repeated plugging and unplugging during travel use.

Questions about this item

What connectors are on the cable and do I need any extra adapters?

The cable has a USB A male plug on one end and a 5-pin Mini USB B male plug on the other. No extra adapters are required for the listed cameras or a standard USB A port.

Should I choose a different length or connector type for my Canon PowerShot S300?

This model is a 3 ft cable with USB A to 5-pin Mini B connectors, which matches the S300. Other lengths or connector types are separate products.

Will the 480 Mbits/sec rate actually move photos quickly from my Sony DSC-P50?

The cable supports up to 480 Mbits/sec over USB 2.0, so photo and video transfers from the DSC-P50 will run at the camera's maximum USB speed.
