Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the difference between Mini-USB B and Micro-USB?

Mini-USB B is a larger connector type used on older devices like some cameras and MP3 players, while Micro-USB is a smaller connector found on most modern smartphones and tablets. This Lindy cable is specifically for Mini-USB B.

Can this cable be used for charging my device?

Yes, this cable supports charging as well as data transfer, provided the USB port you connect it to provides sufficient power.

What USB version does this cable support?

The cable is compliant with USB 2.0 specifications, supporting data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbit/s. It is also backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices.

How do I know if my device has a Mini-B port?

Look at the shape of the USB port on your device. Mini-USB B ports are typically trapezoidal and larger than the small, flat Micro-USB ports found on many newer devices.

Will the 90-degree connector fit my device's case?

The 90-degree connector is designed to reduce strain and fit in tight spaces. However, very thick or unusually shaped cases might interfere. It's best to check the clearance around your device's USB port.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

This Lindy cable comes with a 10-year warranty.

Can I use this cable with a USB 3.0 port?

Yes, you can plug the USB Type A end into a USB 3.0 port. However, the data transfer speed will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds (480 Mbit/s) because the Mini-USB B connector only supports up to USB 2.0.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized by computer

Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends. Try a different USB port on your computer. Verify that your device uses a Mini-B connector and is powered on. Test with another compatible cable if possible.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm you are connecting to a USB 2.0 port or higher on your computer. Ensure the device itself supports USB 2.0 speeds. Check for any software conflicts or background processes consuming system resources.

Cable feels loose or connection is intermittent

Inspect the Mini-B connector for any bent pins or debris. Ensure the cable is fully seated in the device's port. The 90-degree angle may cause strain if the device port is worn; consider a straight cable if this is a recurring issue.

Device not charging

Verify that the USB port on your computer or power adapter can supply sufficient power. If using a computer's USB port, ensure it's not a data-only port or a low-power port. Try a dedicated USB charger.

Pros and Cons

  • The right-angle connector might not be ideal for all device orientations or cases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your device has a USB Mini-B port. This is crucial, as the cable will not fit other USB types (like Micro-B).
  2. Connect the USB Type A end of the cable to a USB port on your computer, hub, or power adapter.
  3. Connect the 90-degree USB Mini-B end to your compatible device.
  4. The device should be recognized automatically by your operating system for data transfer or charging.

Compatibility:

  • Connector Type: Specifically designed for devices with a USB Mini-B port. Common examples include older digital cameras, MP3 players, portable gaming consoles, and some GPS devices.
  • USB Versions: Fully compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 standards. It can connect to USB 3.0 ports, but will operate at USB 2.0 speeds.
  • Operating Systems: Works seamlessly with Windows, macOS, Linux, and other operating systems that support standard USB connections.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
  • To clean, disconnect the cable from all devices and wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent damage to the internal wires or connectors.
  • Periodically check connectors for dust or debris and clean gently if necessary.
