What kind of USB cable is this please ?

Posted 22nd May 2023

Just received my travel case but the USB is a weird head. None of my cables fit, I think this is an old standard?

If someone can tell me the name of the careful so I can order, I'm sure it will be cheaper than the 8£ that Philips advertising.

It's worse with USB-C to USB-C cables with a fairly wide variety of capabilities but nothing to designate what a cable can do on the item nor a clear way when buying either.

Once a year I have to go hunting for one of those cables in my various cable stores

Been binning off my micro USB cables, and scarily binning A to C cables as I'm 75% C to C in my house now! (edited)

I've got loads of those mini USB cables somewhere, back from the days when eBay used to pay buyers to buy that sort of thing.

All small electronic devices used to use them for about a year around 2010 - I've still got working tablets, mp3 players etc that use them - before microUSB took over.

No matter how many times I find a Mini USB cable and throw it away, I find another a Month later.
I'm sure they're breeding...
