    Perfect cable for connecting older USB devices

    My new Mac Mini has a single large USB port, but several of the small format ports. This cable was perfect for connecting an older external USB device to one of the new, smaller ports, and was exactly what I needed.

    This cable replaced a lost one. it worked great with my original device. for some reason, this was hard to find but found it at bestbuy and I didn't have to order it on the internet and wait for it to be shipped to me.

    This seems simple ,but unfortunately some things do not work as you would expect them to. This cable, however, does work the way one would expect it to work and fits what it is supposed to fit. That proves refreshing.

    In the last house move, we misplaced the cable to hook up our GPS system to our computer; updates to our maps were way overdue. Best Buy staff found the right cable, we took it home, and updates were successful

    Needed a backup phone charging cable. Works, and not too expensive. Usually first thing I buy with a new phone is extra cable made by Insignia. Never had one fail unlike OEM cables.

    I have an older Garmin GPS unit that requires a mini-USB cable to sync and update. I had misplaced the cable that came with the unit. This was exactly what I needed, and the price was good. Thank you, Best Buy!

    Needed this cord to pull video from my JVC HDD camera. Originally went into the store for a memory card. When the memory card didn't work, salesman helped me trouble shoot. Forever grateful since I was working under a looming deadline.

    The dog ate my USB mini cable! I was concerned that I might not find a replacement to fit my Magic Wand portable scanner. My Best Buy associate pointed me to the Insignia Mini-B Cable. Voilà! The dog and I are happy campers once again.

    I needed a replacement cord for my GPS so I could update the maps (the original was packed and stores offsite) This was a perfect substitution and worked like a charm. Also, it was wallet friendly, which was a plus.

    This was a replacement cable. Works as expected and was a good value. Couldn't believe I didn't have something the exact size leftover from some other device, took some hunting in the store, Best Buy employees are so helpful!

    Works much better than expected. I had a high profile keyboard and it was always causing me to miss-spell words from hitting the keys. Now I don't, well maybe. LOL

    I forgot my Garmin GPS charger while visiting Boston. I went to my favorite electronics store and fortunately they had this 3 foot cord. It worked perfectly and I was able to charge my GPS.
