  • Pack of 2 x USB 2.0-A to Angled Mini-B Cables - 1m

    This pack includes two USB 2.0 cables, each measuring 1.0 meter in length, designed to connect devices with a USB Mini-B 5-pin port to a standard USB-A host. The key feature is the angled Mini-B connector, which provides a secure, low-profile connection perfect for managing cables on a telescope rig or in any tight space.

    Tidy and Secure Connections with a 1m Angled Cable

    The 90-degree angle on the Mini-B connector is engineered to solve a common problem: cable strain and clutter. By routing the cable flush against the device, it minimizes the risk of snags and accidental disconnection during an imaging session. At 1.0 meter, the length is ideal for connecting a guide camera, filter wheel, or focuser to a nearby USB hub on your telescope OTA without excess slack.

    • Reduced Strain: The angled design prevents sharp bends at the connection point, extending the life of both the cable and your device's port.
    • Low-Profile Fit: Perfect for equipment mounted in tight enclosures or for creating clean, organized cable runs on your astrophotography setup.
    • Reliable Data Transfer: Provides a stable USB 2.0 connection for controlling astronomy accessories and transferring data from planetary or guide cameras.

  • What devices use this angled Mini-B USB cable?

    This cable is compatible with many astronomy devices that use a USB Mini-B 5-pin port for data or power. This includes older ZWO planetary cameras, various guide cameras, electronic filter wheels, and some focus controllers.

    Why would I choose an angled USB cable for my telescope?

    An angled connector helps prevent cables from snagging on the mount as the telescope slews. It creates a much cleaner, more compact cable routing path, which reduces the chance of a cable pulling out or getting caught in the dark, potentially ruining a long exposure.

    Is this 1m USB cable long enough for my setup?

    A 1.0 meter length is generally ideal for connecting a device on your optical tube back to a USB hub or power box also mounted on the tube or dovetail bar. It is typically not long enough to run from the telescope directly back to a laptop on the ground, for which you would need a longer cable or a USB extension.

    Will this USB 2.0 cable be fast enough for my planetary camera?

    Yes, for many cameras that use a Mini-B port, the USB 2.0 standard provides sufficient bandwidth for planetary imaging frame rates. However, it is not as fast as USB 3.0, so it's best suited for devices that were originally designed for the USB 2.0 specification.

    Does this pack include two separate 1m USB cables?

    Yes, this is a pack of two. You will receive two individual 1.0 meter USB 2.0-A to angled Mini-B cables, allowing you to connect two separate devices or keep one as a spare.

    What is the difference between Mini-B and Micro-B USB?

    USB Mini-B has a thicker, trapezoidal connector shape, common on older cameras and digital devices. USB Micro-B is a much thinner, smaller connector found on most modern smartphones and accessories. This cable is for Mini-B ports and will not fit a Micro-B port.
