StarTech.com Mini USB 2.0 Cable – The Ultimate Down‑Angle Connection
The StarTech.com Mini USB 2.0 Cable is engineered for seamless integration between a standard USB A port and a Mini‑USB B device that requires an angled connection. With a generous length of 2 m, this cable offers flexibility in positioning while maintaining reliable data transfer speeds up to 480 Mbit/s.
Key Design Features
- Connector Configuration: One end is a straight, male USB A plug; the other end is an angled, male Mini‑USB B connector. This design eliminates the need for additional adapters when connecting to devices such as cameras, handheld consoles, or older peripherals.
- Durable Construction: The cable’s jacket is made from high‑quality Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), providing resistance against abrasion and environmental factors. The internal shielding consists of an Aluminum Mylar foil layer, which protects against electromagnetic interference for stable data transmission.
- High‑Quality Contacts: All connector contacts are plated with Nickel, ensuring excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The AWG wire size of 28 balances flexibility with sufficient current carrying capacity for typical USB 2.0 applications.
- Compliance & Safety: Certified under CE and REACH, the cable meets stringent European safety and environmental standards. It is also RoHS‑compliant, guaranteeing that hazardous substances are kept below regulatory limits.
- Plug & Play Ready: No drivers or additional software are required; simply insert the cable into compatible ports, and it’s ready for use.

Ideal Use Cases
The angled Mini‑USB B connector is specifically designed for devices that mount in a downward orientation, such as:
- Digital cameras and camcorders with rear-mounted ports.
- Portable gaming consoles requiring a compact USB connection.
- Embedded systems or industrial equipment where space constraints dictate an angled cable.
Because the cable is 2 meters long, users can position their devices comfortably without pulling on the connector, reducing wear and tear over time.
Performance & Reliability
The combination of Nickel‑plated contacts, robust shielding, and a well‑balanced wire gauge ensures that data integrity is maintained even during prolonged use. The cable’s compliance with CE and REACH standards guarantees safe operation in diverse environments.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Insert the USB A end into a standard USB port; the angled Mini‑USB B end will fit snugly into compatible devices without requiring additional adapters.
- Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors to preserve internal wire alignment.
- Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use; the PVC jacket protects against moisture and dust.
Conclusion
The StarTech.com Mini USB 2.0 Cable – Down Angle, 2 m, Black delivers a reliable, high‑speed connection between standard USB ports and angled Mini‑USB devices. Its thoughtful design—combining durable materials, precise engineering, and strict compliance with international safety standards—makes it an indispensable accessory for professionals and hobbyists alike who demand both performance and convenience.
