ProXtend USB 2.0 A to Mini B 5P cable USB2AMINIB-0015 is a 1.5 m data and power lead designed to link devices with a standard USB Type-A port to devices using a 5-pin Mini-B connector. The cable supports USB 2.0 transfer speeds and plug-and-play operation, providing a simple physical connection for older cameras, portable media players, some external hard drives and other legacy peripherals that use the Mini-B interface.

Advantages

The cable offers a durable connector pair and a 1.5 m length that balances flexibility and reach for typical desktop and mobile setups. It supports USB 2.0 data rates for reliable file transfer and delivers USB power between connected devices without additional drivers. The straightforward A-to-Mini B design ensures compatibility with a broad range of legacy equipment while keeping installation and use simple.

Suitable for

• Connecting older digital cameras to computers for file transfer
• Syncing and charging portable media players and GPS units with Mini-B ports
• Connecting certain external hard drives and card readers that use Mini-B
• Data transfer and basic power delivery for legacy peripherals

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB Type-A (male) to USB Mini-B 5-pin (male)
• USB specification: USB 2.0 compatible
• Cable length: 1.5 meters
• Primary functions: data transfer and USB power delivery
• Operation: plug-and-play, no driver required for typical host systems

How to use

Insert the Type-A plug into a USB port on the host device (computer, charger or USB hub) and connect the Mini-B plug to the target device. After connecting, the host should recognise the peripheral automatically for file transfer or charging, depending on the device capabilities. For safe removal after data transfer, use the operating system’s eject or safely remove hardware procedure before unplugging.

Recommendations

Use the cable for routine file transfers and charging tasks between compatible devices. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors, and disconnect by holding the connector housing rather than pulling the cord to prolong service life. For devices requiring higher transfer rates or USB Power Delivery, consider a cable and interface that support newer USB standards.
