Eaton Tripp Lite USB 2.0 A to Mini-B Cable, 1.83 m

The Eaton Tripp Lite USB 2.0 A to Mini-B cable is a high-performance connectivity solution designed for reliable data transfer and device synchronization. Measuring 1.83 meters in length, this cable features a standard male USB-A connector on one end and a 5-pin male Mini-B connector on the other, making it an essential accessory for connecting a wide range of legacy and modern peripherals to your computer or charging hub.

Advantages

This cable is engineered with premium double-shielding, utilizing a tinned copper braid and aluminum Mylar foil to minimize electromagnetic interference and ensure signal integrity. The inclusion of gold-plated connectors and copper contacts provides superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, which helps maintain a stable connection over time. Furthermore, the molded connectors and integrated strain relief enhance the physical durability of the cable, preventing damage at the connection points during frequent use.

Suitable for

• Connecting digital cameras to computers for photo transfer
• Syncing data with older mobile phones and PDAs
• Connecting external hard drives and portable storage devices
• Linking multimedia devices that utilize a 5-pin Mini-B interface

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not compatible with devices that require a Micro-USB or USB-C connection, as the Mini-B interface has a distinct physical shape. It is also not intended for high-power charging applications that exceed standard USB 2.0 power delivery specifications.

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB-A (male) to 5-pin Mini-B (male)
• Cable length: 1.83 meters
• Data transfer rate: Up to 480 Mbps
• Shielding: Double-shielded with tinned copper braid and aluminum Mylar foil
• Contact material: Gold-plated copper

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the USB-A connector into an available USB port on your computer, laptop, or wall charger. Insert the 5-pin Mini-B connector into the corresponding port on your peripheral device. Ensure both connectors are fully seated to establish a secure connection. The device should be automatically recognized by your operating system if drivers are installed.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your peripheral device specifically requires a 5-pin Mini-B connector.
• Ensure the 1.83-meter length is sufficient for your workspace setup.
• Check if your device supports USB 2.0 data transfer speeds.

Usage recommendations: To maintain optimal performance, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles near the connectors and store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent unnecessary wear on the strain relief components.
