Legrand USB Mini Cable, 3 Meters

For anyone connecting a computer or USB hub to an older camera, MP3 player, cell phone, or hard drive, this Legrand C2G cable is built around a specific job: moving data to or from a device with a 5-pin Mini-USB B input. Its 9.84-foot (3-meter) length gives you room to place the connected device away from the computer, and the USB 2.0 connection supports transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps. That can make it useful for moving photos or music, provided both devices have the matching ports and the files can be transferred over USB.

What matters most

The main buying decision is connector fit, not the black finish or cable length. The cable connects a USB port on a PC, Mac, or hub to a compatible device’s 5-pin Mini-USB B input. It is not a general-purpose cable for every camera or phone: a device with USB-C, Micro-USB, or another connector will need a different cable. It suits you if you have equipment with that specific Mini-USB B port and want a direct wired connection for data transfer. It might not be a great match if you’re shopping for a cable to connect newer devices with different ports.

C2G lists gold-plated, corrosion-resistant connectors, double shielding, and a fully molded jacket. Those features are intended to support signal transfer, reduce unwanted noise interference, and help protect the cable near its connectors from strain. From the way it is set up, this is a straightforward data cable rather than a multi-purpose accessory with several connector types. Keep in mind that the stated speed is a USB 2.0 maximum, not a promise that every transfer will run at that rate, the devices and files involved also matter.

How to use it

Plug the USB end into a computer or hub and the 5-pin Mini-USB B end into the compatible device. For example, if a camera with that input is beside your laptop, the 3-meter cable lets you connect it without having to place the camera right next to the computer. The listed use is transferring pictures or music, the cable does not claim to add charging features or support a particular device model, so choose it for the port match and data connection described.

Practical tips

Before ordering, look at the device’s port rather than relying only on its brand or product category. Cameras and other devices can use different connectors, even when they serve a similar purpose. Also consider where the cable will run: 9.84 feet offers more reach than a short desk cable, but extra length can leave slack if the computer and device sit close together. If your equipment uses USB-C or another newer connection, a cable made for that port is the more suitable approach, this one is for a 5-pin Mini-USB B input.

Practical doubts

What devices can it connect? A PC, Mac, or hub with a USB port can connect to a camera, cell phone, MP3 player, hard drive, or other compatible device when that device has a 5-pin Mini-USB B input.

Can it transfer photos and music? Yes, the listed purpose is transferring pictures or music between connected compatible devices. The cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer, with a stated maximum speed of 480 Mbps.

Is it a USB-C cable? No. The device end is specified as 5-pin Mini-USB B, so it will not directly fit a USB-C port.

Buying verdict

Choose this Legrand C2G cable when the device you need to connect has a 5-pin Mini-USB B input and you want the extra reach of a 9.84-foot lead for data transfers. Its shielding and molded jacket are useful construction details, but port compatibility is the deciding factor. If your device has a different connector, or you need a cable for a connection type not listed here, this is the wrong format rather than a flexible upgrade.
