Maybe the region, Swiss, Europe? Google and Duckduckgo found nothing.
But thanks, so they do exist.
Can you give me your search term or the brand?
https://a.co/d/cotVhJD
This is on US Amazon. Brand JXMOX.
I have a pack of these, although perhaps not this specific brand. I swear by them. Mini and micro usb can die in a fire please.
Dang it, all are unavailable for my region. Ebay too. Legal reasons?
Yes, many nations outlawed these during the great USB wars. So many packets lost, so many busses unserialized, and we still feel the consequences today.
I mean, there are laws for shielding and chemicals and stuff, which are often more stringent in swiss.
Try aliexpress
Check AliExpress
You might be waiting months to get it, though.
Ah yes. Good ol JXMOX… a household name in quality electronics.
So glad this is the world we live in where a cat that’s attacking a keyboard can provide company names that fart in and out of existence every month on the monolithic online shopping monopoly site we all basically are forced to use if we need anything since RadioShack, Fry’s, and every single other boutique electronics shop is gone.
When clicking that link it came up with the last time I've purchased it. So as a random Internet stranger I can actually vouch for these.
I've got an old Sonicare travel toothbrush that used that as a charger and really didn't want to pack another cable. I've bought another pack because I ended up giving one away to a friend that lost the cable for a digital camera they use for work, and cannot use their cell phone for compliance reasons.
In both cases it has worked fine for just charging, and for data transfer.
I‘m also from the Swiss and for this stuff i always use aliexpress. Very good price and never had any issues. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtiKwFE Just search for „usb-c to mini“ and you find lots of options. generally you can say the higher the price the better the quality. also take note of the shipping costs, sometimes costs are „hidden“ in there. PM me if you need help or have questions.
Danke schön.
Check the amount of sold items for the listing check the shipping lrice and check the 1 and 2 star reviews. That way you make sure the item is genuine.
"amazon type c to mini usb adapter" is what I googled to get the same result as them. Maybe try the same query directly on your regional Amazon page if Google isn't helping
If you need a lot I believe StarTech or CDW can work out a shipment.
Do a search for fire starter… /s
Vs. the commonly found mini cable? Don't think so.
Do a search on aliexpress, you’ll get 10 for the $14 linked above
