Target Devices

This three-foot cable connects USB Mini-B 5-pin devices such as older cameras, phones and PDAs to a standard USB-A port on a computer or charger. It is built for users who still rely on legacy peripherals that require the Mini-B interface. The gold-plated contacts help maintain reliable conductivity over repeated insertions.

Replacing Shorter Or Worn Leads

It upgrades from shorter or damaged cables that limit placement or suffer from intermittent contact. The jump is worth it when the original lead is too short for comfortable use, when the connectors have become loose, or when a spare is needed for travel or a second workstation. The 30 AWG conductors meet the USB 2.0 specification for both low-speed and high-speed signalling.

Sustained Transfer Behaviour

The cable supports the full USB 2.0 bandwidth range from 1.5 Mbps up to 480 Mbps during extended transfers. Because it adheres to the published electrical limits, signal integrity remains stable across the full length without the errors that cheaper, out-of-spec leads can introduce under continuous load. The moulded strain relief protects the termination points from fatigue during daily plugging and unplugging.

Questions about this item

Does the 3 ft cable reach from a desktop USB 2.0 Type-A port to a camera with a 5-pin Mini-B socket?

The 3 ft length connects a standard USB 2.0 Type-A port to a 5-pin Mini-B device such as a camera or PDA.

How do I plug the gold-plated connectors in without forcing them?

Align the Type-A plug with the port’s wide side up and the Mini-B plug with its tapered side up; both insert with light pressure only.

Will the gold-plated contacts need cleaning or the cable replacing after heavy use?

Gold plating resists corrosion, so the contacts do not require cleaning; replace the cable only if the jacket or strain relief shows physical damage.
