The Lindy Anthra Line USB 2.0 A to Mini-B data cable, 2m, grey, external is a dedicated cable for reliable data transfer between devices with a USB-A input and smaller USB Mini-B connectors. It falls into the data cable category and solves the need to connect many older or specialized devices, such as older cameras, certain external hard drives, portable consoles or special measuring instruments that use a USB Mini-B connector.

The cable allows for easy data transfer and powering of devices where supported. The 2-meter length makes it particularly convenient in situations where a portable device needs to be connected to a computer or other USB-A equipped device at a certain distance, such as on a desk, shelves or next to device cases. This provides more freedom in equipment placement and prevents tension or bending of cables over short distances.

Key product features

⚖️ Compare features with other products of your choice

The Lindy Anthra Line USB 2.0 cable uses a combination of a standard USB-A connector on one end and a mini USB-B (Mini-B) connector on the other. This means it is suitable for connecting devices that require the older Mini-B standard to newer or modern devices with a USB-A port. This includes connecting older digital cameras, some external drives or specialized controllers to laptops, desktops or power supplies.

The 2-meter length allows for comfortable use even in more demanding environments – for example, when devices need to be connected around a desk, in stands at events, or when it is not possible to physically bring both devices closer together. The cable is equipped with robust connectors and a reinforced outer jacket, ensuring reliability even when frequently connecting and carrying the device between different locations.

The cable design enables stable data transfer at speeds typical of the USB 2.0 standard (up to 480 Mb/s). This is perfectly suitable for transferring documents, photos, basic multimedia files or for using older accessories where the higher transfer speeds of modern standards are not required. The cable also functions as a power supply for devices (if they support this), which allows for practical use without the need for an additional power supply.

The cable is not compatible with devices that use newer Micro-USB or USB-C connectors, so it is best suited for users who still need a classic Mini-B connection for everyday work, servicing, or transferring archived content.

It is important to know

Choosing a data cable is not just a matter of length or price - the key is the appropriateness of the connection and the practicality of use with your devices. Before buying, it is essential to consider how and where you will use the cable most, and whether the USB-A to Mini-B type is suitable for your equipment.

• The 2-meter length allows more freedom when connecting devices in rooms where they are not always together, but may be less practical for mobile use or connecting on the go.
• The USB-A to Mini-B cable is primarily suitable for connecting to devices that support the Mini-B connector - this standard is less common today, but still useful for older cameras, portable drives, and some other accessories.
• The cable is intended for data transfer and charging, but check if your device supports the desired functionality (e.g. data transfer speed is limited to the USB 2.0 standard).
• Since there are no additional cables in the package, this product is best suited as a single replacement cable or for a specific location (e.g. home or office).

In practice

🟢 Connecting older devices with a mini USB port

The cable is very suitable for connecting older cameras, external drives or other devices with a Mini-B input to a computer or charger with a USB-A output.

🟢 Data transfer and charging devices with Mini-B

It is perfectly suited for simultaneous data transfer and charging of devices with this connector, within the limits of USB 2.0 speeds.

🟡 Daily mobile use (car, power bank, on the go)

The cable is long enough for stationary use, but for use with a power bank or in a car, the longer length may be less practical for portability and tidiness.

🔴 Modern devices with USB-C or Micro USB

The cable is not suitable for the latest phones, tablets or equipment that use a USB-C or Micro USB connection - check if your device uses the Mini-B standard.
