USB 2.0 A to Mini B 5P Cable ProXtend 5 m

ProXtend USB 2.0 A to Mini B 5P Cable, 5 m provides a reliable wired connection between a standard USB-A host port and devices with a Mini B 5-pin connector. The cable supports USB 2.0 transfer rates suitable for data sync, file transfer and device control. With its 5‑meter length the cable enables flexible device placement, reducing the need to keep devices close to the host computer or hub.

Advantages

The ProXtend cable combines extended reach with support for USB 2.0 data rates, enabling stable transfers at full USB 2.0 throughput where supported by connected devices. Its standardized USB-A and Mini B 5P connectors ensure wide compatibility with cameras, older external drives and certain audio or measurement devices that use the Mini B interface. The 5‑metre length allows ergonomic workspace arrangement and simplifies connections in studio, office or field environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting digital cameras and camcorders with Mini B 5‑pin ports to PCs or USB hubs
• Data transfer to and from older external hard drives or card readers using Mini B
• Connecting audio interfaces, MIDI controllers or measurement devices that use Mini B 5P
• Extending reach for devices in studios, offices, workshops or field setups

Key specifications

• Connector A: USB Type A (male)
• Connector B: Mini USB B 5‑pin (male)
• Length: 5 metres
• USB standard: USB 2.0 (supports High Speed 480 Mbps where device and host permit)
• Cable construction: shielded data pairs with power conductor (standard USB wiring)
• Typical use: data transfer and device connectivity (no external power supply included)

How to use

Plug the USB Type A connector into an available USB-A port on your computer, laptop or USB hub. Insert the Mini B 5P connector into the corresponding Mini USB port on the peripheral device until it seats firmly. Ensure both host and device drivers are installed and the device is powered if required. Transfer files or operate the device using the host system’s file manager or the device’s control software. Disconnect by gently pulling on the connector housings rather than the cable itself.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable with devices and hosts that support USB 2.0 High Speed. Avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic sources and do not excessively bend or sharply kink the cable to preserve signal integrity and prolong cable life.
