USB Cable Helos 288315 USB 2.0 2m USB A Mini-USB B Black

The Helos 288315 USB cable is a 2 m data cable with a standard USB A plug on one end and a Mini-USB B plug on the other. It complies with USB 2.0 specifications and supports a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 0.48 Gbit/s. The cable features gold-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and a black jacket with magnetic shielding to reduce interference and increase durability when used with devices that have Mini-USB ports.

Advantages

This USB A to Mini-USB B cable provides stable data transfer at USB 2.0 speeds and is long enough for flexible device placement. Gold-plated contacts minimize corrosion and help maintain a reliable connection over time. The cable’s shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, and the 2 m length allows connection across workspaces without requiring extension adapters.

Suitable for

• Connecting digital cameras, older GPS units and some external hard drives to computers
• Transferring files, performing device firmware updates, and syncing data
• Powering or charging devices that accept Mini-USB B power input from a USB A port

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB A (standard) to Mini-USB B
• USB standard: USB 2.0, up to 0.48 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 2 m

How to use

Plug the USB A connector into a host device such as a computer or USB charger and insert the Mini-USB B connector into the target device’s Mini-USB port. Ensure both connectors are aligned before insertion to avoid bending pins. For data transfer, allow the host device to detect the connected device and follow any on-screen prompts to access files or perform updates. For charging, confirm the host provides the appropriate current for the target device.

Recommendations

To maintain performance, avoid sharp bends and prolonged strain on the connectors, keep the contacts clean and dry, and store the cable loosely coiled when not in use. Use this cable with devices designed for Mini-USB B to ensure compatibility with USB 2.0 speeds and power characteristics.
