Overview

The Monoprice 104817 USB A Male to Mini B5 Female Adapter is a small, no-frills connector designed to solve a specific compatibility problem: bridging devices or cables that use the Mini 5-pin (B5) USB standard with standard USB Type-A ports. This is particularly useful for older peripherals such as digital cameras, GPS receivers, and portable media players that rely on the Mini-B connection format. The adapter operates at USB 2.0 speeds, supporting data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps.

Built by Monoprice, a brand known for affordable connectivity accessories, this adapter requires no drivers or software — it is a purely passive connector that works the moment it is plugged in. Its compact size makes it convenient to keep in a laptop bag or cable organizer, though that same small footprint means it can be easy to lose track of. For anyone who needs to connect a Mini-B device to a USB-A host without replacing cables, this adapter is a practical and budget-friendly option.
