What this cable connects

The StarTech USBMUSBFM1 is a USB 2.0 cable with a USB A female connector on one end and a Mini B male connector on the other. It links legacy Mini USB devices such as older cameras, external hard drives or GPS units to a standard USB A port on a computer or hub. The 28 AWG wiring supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps.

Installing and common issues

Installation is straightforward: plug the Mini B male end into the device and the USB A female end into a USB A cable or port. The main issue is forcing the Mini B connector the wrong way, which can bend the five internal pins. The PVC jacket resists everyday wear, but sharp bends near the moulded strain relief should be avoided to prevent wire fatigue.

The spec that decides fit

This cable uses a USB A female to Mini B male gender arrangement with 28 AWG conductors rated for USB 2.0 speeds of 480 Mbit/s. If your device requires a Mini B female port or a USB A male plug, this cable will not mate correctly. Verify the port gender on both sides before ordering.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is operating at the rated 480 Mbps after connecting it?

The OS should report a high-speed USB 2.0 link; if it falls back to full-speed the connection is not running at the rated 480 Mbps.

What comes in the box and what must be purchased separately?

The package contains the 1 ft Mini USB 2.0 cable with a USB A female connector and a Mini-B male connector; no additional items are included.

Which version of this cable should I choose for a Mini-B device?

This model is a USB 2.0 Type A female to Mini-B male cable in 28 AWG; select it when you need that exact connector gender and wire gauge.
