Product Information

Full details

This Lindy USB 2.0 cable is designed for users needing a reliable, short connection between USB Type-A devices and Mini-USB B ports, offering fast data transfer up to 480Mbit/sec. Its primary benefit is dependable connectivity for peripherals like cameras or external drives. A potential consideration is its short 0.2m length, which may require devices to be placed close together. Key features include its adherence to USB 2.0 specifications, 28AWG wire gauge for data and power, and a durable, molded construction.

FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?

This cable complies with the USB 2.0 specification, allowing for data transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbit/sec.

What devices typically use a Mini-USB B connector?

Mini-USB B connectors are commonly found on older digital cameras, some external hard drives, MP3 players, GPS devices, and certain older smartphones or mobile accessories.

Is this cable compatible with USB 3.0 or USB-C ports?

No, this is a USB 2.0 cable with Type A and Mini-B connectors. It will physically fit into a USB Type A port but will operate at USB 2.0 speeds. It is not compatible with USB-C ports without an adapter.

How durable is the cable?

The cable features 28AWG wire for data and power and has a fully molded design, which contributes to its durability for regular use.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

Lindy provides a 10-year warranty for this USB cable.

Can I use this cable for fast charging?

While the cable has 28AWG for power, its charging capability depends on the connected device and power source. USB 2.0 is not designed for high-speed charging standards like those found in USB Power Delivery.

What does '28AWG' mean?

AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. A lower AWG number indicates a thicker wire. 28AWG means the wires used for data and power transmission are of a standard thickness suitable for USB 2.0 specifications.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized by computer

Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the device and the computer. Try a different USB port on the computer. Test the cable with a different Mini-USB B device if possible, or try a different cable with the original device to isolate the issue.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that both the device and the computer's USB port support USB 2.0 speeds. Ensure no other high-bandwidth devices are using the same USB hub. Clean the connectors of both the cable and the ports.

Intermittent connection

Check for any physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure connections are snug. Dust or debris in the ports can cause this; clean ports carefully.

Cable does not fit the port

Verify you are using the correct cable type (Type A to Mini-B). The Mini-USB B connector is distinct from Micro-USB or USB-C connectors. Ensure you are trying to connect to the correct port on your device.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fast USB 2.0 data transfer speeds (up to 480Mbit/sec).
  • Durable, molded construction for reliable use.
  • Compact 0.2m length is ideal for close-proximity connections.
  • Transparent design offers a clean aesthetic.
  • Includes a 10-year manufacturer warranty.

Cons

  • Short cable length (0.2m) may not be suitable for all setups.
  • Limited to USB 2.0 speeds; not compatible with USB 3.0 or higher devices for their maximum speeds.
  • Mini-USB B connector is less common on newer devices.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a plug-and-play cable. Simply insert the USB Type A connector into a standard USB port on your computer or hub, and the Mini-USB B connector into the corresponding port on your peripheral device. Ensure a firm, secure connection at both ends.

Compatibility:

  • Host Devices: Compatible with any device featuring a standard USB Type A port (desktops, laptops, USB hubs).
  • Peripheral Devices: Designed for devices with a USB Mini-B port. This includes many older digital cameras, some external hard drives, GPS devices, and portable audio equipment.
  • Operating Systems: Fully compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems without requiring special drivers.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
  • When unplugging, pull by the connector body, not the cable itself, to prevent strain.
  • Keep connectors clean; use a dry, soft brush or compressed air if dust accumulates. Avoid using liquids.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent damage to the internal wires.
