Type Mini-B Male USB Adapter/Converter

Buying Adapter Converter Cable Accessories With a Male-to-Male Design

Compact USB accessories with a converter adapter give users opportunities to operate various CPU products that aren't designed with a port for a specific connector. These are modification pieces and can change an average cord into an accessory that has a proper piece. You'll find a variety of long and short converters with a cable and many adapters without a cable that is designed for traditional and portable consumer electronics.

What are the product usage and design options?

These products can help you modify a cord that normally attaches to a particular port that doesn't have a USB jack. For example, if want to charge a product using a USB plug instead of a standard wall outlet, you could connect the cord to a converter if the cable has a compatible connector. The main cord options include:

  • Male to Mini-B: Male to Mini-B cables are designed with one USB piece and one component that connects to a mini port on a camera, printer, or some other device. These accessories are typically up to 3 feet long.
  • Male to USB: Male to USB cables have a traditional USB port and an alternative port. Because these are cable modification products, they're designed without a cord. In order to use this accessory, you'll have to attach a USB cord in the dedicated port. Then, you'll have to connect the other connector on the adapter to a compatible product that has a Mini-B port.
  • Angled mini male adapter: An angled adapter has a mini connector piece attached to the side of the housing. This product lacks a cord because a user must attach a USB cable to the port that's built on the housing.
What are the USB cable options?
  • USB 2.0: UBS 2.0 is a data technology that's used to make many of the adapter pieces. Because nearly all gadgets use USB 2.0 hardware, it's a very common option for short, long, and angled CPU cable converter products.
  • USB 3.0: UBS 3.0 is a faster option that gives a cord a transfer rate of 5gbps. When compared to USB 2.0, 3.0 cords are 10 times quicker, and this is why most advanced cables are built with 3.0 hardware.
What are the adapter design options?

Since USB cables are designed for data transfer tasks, the connector pieces are typically mounted in ports and removed from ports frequency. As a result, manufacturers build the housing on a USB plug out of plastic that features convenient grooves that provide grip. These groove or etches are usually placed on the top portion and sides of a housing.

Black is a common color for the housing that's found on various adapter pieces and cables. However, some brands also make alternative adapter pieces with bright color schemes that match the vibrant housing on sporty gadgets and music devices.
