Are all mini-USB to standard size USB cables the same?I've got one for my camera, my MP3, my GPS and my digital picture frame. Are they all the same so I can put all but one away in the computer parts box? |

The connectors and wiring are standardized, but there are connectors that smaller than the others. (maybe one is mini, and the other is micro  ) I know for the fact that my latest digicam has smaller connector than everything else. |

if they all look like this, then yes you can just use one. |

I have three USB devices and it's just my luck that one is regular, one is mini and the last is micro meaning I have to keep all three cables at my desk.  |

I have something similar to this because I was in the same situation as you. » www.nulime.com/Retractab ··· e/p64096 |

I have a kit like that, but guess what, none of the included connector in the kit fits my digicam.  |

Thanks guys. Fortunately, all mine have the same mini plug so I should be ok to use just one. |

There's also a micro/mini USB end that is rectangular and different than the ones in the above photo. My old Fuji camera uses one and I don't know where to get one... |
