What USB Type Is This?

Go to solution Solved by RazerBang,

This is mini usb.

watch the vid.

Hey guys, I have this usb optical drive that I lost the cable for. I've scoured google, LG's website, ebay and I can't find the type of the cable. Is it proprietary? I know it's not mini-A, mini-B or uc-e6 (what nikon uses on it's small cameras). Here's a picture. The model is a GP10NB20.

Hmm i'm not so sure. I just looked at the micro USB on the bottom of my phone and the one on this image looks far bigger (no not because its on my monitor) but the connection in the middle looks bigger (thicker) than the one in my phone. Also its shaped differently around the edges.

Ok I'm an idiot. It is mini-b. I was under the impression the connector was a similar shape. Thanks guys.
