InLine USB 2.0 Mini Cable, Type A male / mini-B male (5pin), black/gold, 1m

The InLine USB 2.0 Mini Cable (1 m) connects a standard USB Type-A host to devices with a 5-pin mini-USB B connector commonly found on cameras, card readers and some USB hubs. It supports the USB 2.0 standard for reliable data transfer and features gold-plated contacts to improve signal contact and reduce corrosion. The cable comes in a black finish and is intended for everyday data and charging connections between compatible devices.

Advantages

Gold-plated contacts enhance connectivity and resist corrosion, while the USB 2.0 specification ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices. The 1 m length offers a balance between reach and convenience, and the standard Type-A to mini-B connector pairing fits legacy cameras, card readers and similar portable devices.
