Product description
This connection cable connects USB-A ports on computers or power supplies to Mini-USB sockets on older peripherals. The 100 cm length bridges greater distances between the host and the device without the need for adapters.
The cable carries all four USB wires, providing both power supply and data transmission. Devices such as external drives, printers, or data loggers can be powered and read with it, as long as the computer or power source provides USB-A.
Typical applications include connecting older development boards with a Mini-USB interface to laboratory power supplies, connecting sensors to a computer for data acquisition, and powering portable devices from a USB hub. With cable lengths exceeding 100 cm, voltage drops may occur, especially with high-current consumers; in such cases, an active hub or a dedicated power supply is preferable. The cable is intended exclusively for test and prototype setups and is not designed for installation in permanent systems or as a replacement for damaged original connectors.
Safety information
This cable is intended exclusively for prototypes and development purposes. It must not be used if the cable jacket or plugs are damaged. It is not intended for installation in stationary electrical circuits or for permanent installation.
