What kind of USB connector is this?
I bought a US Robotics 56K USB External Fax-modem V.92 Model 5633A on
ebay without the USB cable. The plug on the rear of the modem is NOT a standard USB connector. It's almost square and fairly large. I will need to buy a cable on ebay for this, but I am not sure what to look for. Is there a name for this connector (besides USB). I have never used a USB modem, all were Serial port types in the past. I want to make sure I get the right cable. I have no local place to buy this, so I am stuck using ebay. I've seen these plugs, but dont have one and dont know what it's called or named. Thanks |

I think that #2 is the one on my cellphone. (not that this matters). I didn't know they made this many types. Speaking of printers, a year ago, I bought a printer on closeout. The price was cheap, but when I got it home, it had a similar looking USB plug, but did not come with the cable. Plus it only came with enough ink to test print about 10 pages. The ink and that cable (at the store) would have cost twice what I paid for the printer, so I just returned it. But I am almost sure that printer needed the same cable. (which sold for almost $20 at the store). I'm gonna save that Wikipedia webpage for future cable identification. Looks handy! Thanks again! |

They wont give the shipping price without adding item to cart and signing in, and they play too many games trying to get suckers to join their Prime crap or making you buy more stuff to get free shipping, and all of that. I stick with ebay, where everything is up front in black and white, and I can buy one item without hassle, and know the shipping price immediately. Not to mention I'd then have to buy a prepaid Amazon card, when I already have an Ebay card. I refuse to give out my personal credit card # online. The best I can do locally, so far.

Paul I went on ebay and bought a TWO PACK of them for $2.88 with free shipping. They are 6ft long. That sure is cheap enough at $1.44 each. Having a spare one around is a good thing. |
