Description

StarTech USBAMB2MD 2m Mini USB Extension Cable

Overview

The StarTech USBAMB2MD is a 2-meter (6.6 ft) USB extension cable designed to connect Mini USB devices over longer distances than standard cables permit. This cable is particularly useful for connecting dashcams, portable GPS units, or older digital cameras to a host system or power source where the device's native cable falls short. The USBAMB2MD facilitates data transfer up to 480 Mbps, ensuring efficient communication for compatible devices. Its construction includes a down-angle connector on the Mini-B end, which can be critical for managing cable routing in tight spaces, such as vehicle dashboards or behind equipment racks.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device featuring a USB Mini-B port, including many older digital cameras, GPS receivers, portable hard drives, and dashcams. It supports USB 2.0 data transfer rates, making it suitable for devices that require more than basic charging functionality. The USB Type-A connector interfaces with standard USB ports found on computers, car chargers, and power adapters.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F), allowing for deployment in various environmental conditions. The PVC jacket provides durability, while the aluminum-mylar foil and braid shielding minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity. The down-angle connector is designed to plug into the Mini-B port, directing the cable downwards relative to the port's orientation.
