USB Interface Cable IFC-130U What do the ends look like?

Justin

I am trying to track down the USB cable to connect my 60D to my laptop but I forgot what the ends look like. The stereo AV cable has a mini USB but it has a little bump on one side. I have another USB cable that has a regular mini USB connection, but I'm not sure if I need a USB cable that has that little bump on the side.  I dont want to plug in the cable until i know its the correct one.

The cable has a standard USB A plug on one end (the most common computer receptacle is for USB A). It has a USB mini-B on the side that connects to the camera.

You can see examples of all types of USB plugs and receptacles here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB

You can use any cable which has the correct plug types on each end as long as ALL of the data pins are active. I have occasionally come across cables that only wire the power pins, but not the data pins... due to the large number of devices that use the cable type only for charging devices such as mobile phones, but not for communication.
