⚠️ Important Notice: 5-Pin Mini-B Interface & USB 2.0 Speed Specification

1. 5-Pin Mini-B Female Socket (Not Micro-USB): This cable terminates in a female trapezoid 5-pin Mini-B USB port on one end and a male USB Type-C plug on the other. It is engineered to accept standard Mini USB male cables and devices. It is NOT compatible with Micro-USB (Micro-B) or modern USB-C cables.
2. USB 2.0 Transmission Standard (Up to 480 Mbps): Due to standard 5-pin Mini USB hardware pinout constraints, maximum data sync transfer rates operate up to 480 Mbps. While fully compatible with modern USB-C, USB 3.1/3.2, and Thunderbolt 3/4 computer host ports, the maximum transmission rate is governed by USB 2.0 protocol.
3. Host-to-Device Configuration: The USB-C male connector plugs into your computer, laptop, or tablet (Host), while the Mini USB female port connects to your existing Mini USB cable leading to your digital camera, GPS, or legacy accessories.
