WTF is this cable called?

[tinytomlogan]

This is the cable for my DSLR but I want another one for the shed, I cant find any for toffee on ebay but it may help if I know what its called.

Its NOT the normal usb A to B

Need to know the smaller of the 2 obv.

mini-USB i think

Think it's a model specific usb/firewire cable. U get them on digital cameras from the likes of Sony/Sanyo etc.

Some of them break out into componet connections.

Mini usb on my desk looks different.

 

[tinytomlogan]

mini is the 2nd one from left

Mine is the black one

mini-USB i think

Think mini USB / Mini B is the next one up from that, with the step in the sides.

It's going to either be micro B or micro A-B, Wiki referrs to it as an 8-pin AGOX plug

Google Kodak U-** usb data cable (for easy share)

** - insert 4 or 8 usually.

Should give u results. One u got there looks like a 4.

Those are too smal rast, mine is longer with a very subtle slant at the top.

I just wanna know what its called, so I can get one in the uk!

It looks like the cable that comes with HTC phones?

Thats what the port on my phone looks like http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/modteknokid/HTCHero?authkey=Gv1sRgCPHF746E-ompiQE#5380881662877205634

My initial response was that it's a generic cable a la most digicams, PS3 chargers, Creative MP3 players etc. However it clearly is slightly different.

An obvious solution... check the manu's website. Google a review of your camera and it'll mention the connection method. Accept you have to carry it between the house and the shed? P)

Thats just silly man - shame on you

Ive just realised what it is..

It's micro USB (if you're using a sony?)

 

[tinytomlogan]

Still get a range of answers on ebay tbh, without searching for A350 I cant find the right one

If you just search for mini b 5 pin it gives the other type, also if you use google. Why do there have to be so many different names ffs

Did say I can find it if I put in A350 cable, but I wanna know wtf it is

 

[djdarkforces]

i needed 1 of awhile ago for my acer digital camera couldnt find 1 any where

 

[WelshD1K]

there all different ends . specific per user etc if that make sense.

 

[sprento]

Feel free to reach out and give me an electronic slap but have you tried searching for your cam on the manufacturer's site and checking under 'specs' or 'whats in the box', surely there must be an explanation in there somewhere.... And I wasn't calling you Shirley.
