New USB lead for ZWO ASI120MM Mini

[WilliamAstro]

Is there a USB lead precisely for my ZWO ASI120MM Mini as the one I got from the product itself broke due to kinks.

Just a standard USB type C cable. Same as most smartphones now.

Make sure any cable is one that transmits data rather than power only..

That happened to me, when I bought a TinySA spectrum analyser.🙄

So many usb C cables are power only as nobody uses a data cable for mobile phones these days with Bluetooth etc around.

I have been caught out too 😀

You'll likely find that most cables now on sale are all USB3 and will work if fully wired,  but the thinner USB2 ones are preferable.

I use these USB2 ones on my ASI120 Mini and they work fine. They are called charger cables but they do data transfer as well.
