USB cable ShiverPeaks BS14-16055 5m USB A Mini-USB B Black

The ShiverPeaks BS14-16055 5m USB A to Mini-USB B cable is a 5-metre black USB 2.0 cable designed for data transfer and device connectivity. It provides a standard USB A connector on one end and a Mini-USB B connector on the other, supporting USB 2.0 transfer speeds up to 0.48 Gbit/s. Nickel-plated contacts help maintain consistent electrical contact and resist corrosion, while the extended length offers flexible placement of connected devices.

Advantages

This cable combines a long 5 m reach with the Mini-USB B interface commonly used on older cameras, portable drives and some audio devices, enabling connections where short cables would be impractical. The USB 2.0 specification ensures compatibility with a wide range of hosts and peripherals at standard high-speed transfer rates, and the nickel-plated contacts improve contact reliability and durability over repeated insertions.

Suitable for

• Connecting cameras and camcorders with Mini-USB B ports to computers and chargers
• Linking portable hard drives, GPS units or MP3 players that use Mini-USB B
• Data transfer and device synchronization where a longer cable run is needed
• Workstations or media setups requiring flexible device placement

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A to Mini-USB B
• USB version: USB 2.0 (up to 0.48 Gbit/s)
• Cable length: 5 m
• Contact plating: nickel-plated contacts for corrosion resistance
• Color: black

How to use

Connect the USB A end to a host device such as a computer, laptop or USB charger and insert the Mini-USB B end into the compatible peripheral device. Ensure connectors are oriented correctly and insert gently until seated. For best performance, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable and route the cable to prevent strain on connectors. If using for data transfer, confirm the host recognizes the connected device and that any required drivers or software are installed.

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments free from excessive moisture and direct heat. For consistent transfer speeds, connect through USB 2.0 ports or hubs; while it is backward compatible with USB 1.1, data rates will be limited by the host or peripheral. Store coiled loosely without tight knots to prolong cable life.
