12 inch USB A to Mini B Cable
This 12 inch white cable connects USB A hosts to Mini B peripherals for data and charging. It uses 28AWG/2C plus 24AWG/2C shielded wiring and carries a UL listing for USB 2.0. The short length keeps cameras, MP3 players or similar devices close to a laptop. Molded jackets add durability for frequent connect and disconnect cycles.
Short cable upgrade
Replaces longer cables that create clutter on a desk or in a bag. The 12 inch span is worth it when the peripheral sits right beside the host and excess slack would snag or tangle. UL listed construction and shielded wiring give a more reliable link than unlisted alternatives. The compact form also simplifies packing for business or personal travel.
Travel and tight spaces
Suits users who need a tidy, portable link between a laptop and a Mini B device such as a digital camera or MP3 player. Buyers who need more reach between host and peripheral should look at longer cables. Anyone whose device uses Micro B, USB C or another connector will need a different cable type.

Questions about this item
What connectors does the USBG-1278W cable have on each end?
One end has a standard USB-A plug and the other end has a Mini-B plug, making it suitable for connecting cameras, MP3 players or similar devices to a computer.
How do I plug the cable in so the Mini-B end seats properly?
Align the trapezoid-shaped Mini-B plug with the device port — it only goes in one way — and push straight in until the molded jacket sits flush; forcing it upside-down can bend the internal pins.
When should I replace this 12-inch cable?
Replace it if the white jacket shows cracks, the shielding is exposed, connectors feel loose or data transfers become unreliable after repeated bending.
