What this cable connects

The DIXSG Mini USB Cable links a USB Type-A port on a computer or charger to devices that use a Mini-B 5-pin connector. It suits owners of PlayStation 3 controllers, GoPro HERO 3+ or HERO4 cameras, Garmin navigation units, dash cams, MP3 players and older Canon PowerShot or Rebel cameras. The 1.5m length gives enough reach for desktop use or charging while playing.

Build and daily use

Corrosion-resistant bare copper conductors and a reinforced connector shell reduce signal loss and withstand repeated plugging. The Mini-B end fits the 5-pin ports found on the listed controllers, cameras and GPS units without adapters. The Type-A end works with any standard USB-A socket on a PC, Mac, console or wall charger. Flexible insulation resists kinking when the cable is coiled for travel.

The deciding specification

Data transfer runs at up to 480 Mbps under the USB 2.0 standard, with backward compatibility to USB 1.1 at 12 Mbps and USB 1.0 at 1.5 Mbps. Buyers who need faster throughput for modern external drives or video capture should look for a USB 3.0 or USB-C cable instead. This cable is intended for charging and legacy device syncing where Mini-B 5-pin remains the required interface.

Questions about this item

What transfer speed does the USB 2.0 Mini-B 5-pin interface cap at in practice?

The cable supports up to 480 Mbps on USB 2.0 and falls back to 12 Mbps on USB 1.1 or 1.5 Mbps on USB 1.0.

What physical clearance does the 1.5 m cable need to reach a rear-panel port?

At 1.5 m long it spans typical desk-to-tower distances; the Mini-B 5-pin plug requires a straight 5-pin socket with no recessed surround.

How is the cable connected, and which orientation step do people get wrong?

Plug the Type-A end into the host USB port and the Mini-B 5-pin end into the device; the Mini-B plug inserts one way only — forcing it reversed bends the pins.
