Uniden USB Mini-B cable Review

THE SHORT VERSION

Our verdict

The value of this cable is a known connection type, not a special enhancement to the receiver. It is useful when the original Mini-B lead is lost or a cable only supplies power when data is needed. The manufacturer's listing groups several scanners with different power arrangements, so the presence of a model in that list should not be read as a promise that USB powers every function on that receiver. Identify the port and intended operation—programming, data transfer or charging—before ordering.

Fit and function

Uniden identifies the cable as BWZH1750002, USB Type-A to Mini-B. The product heading supports charging and data transfer, while model-specific operating instructions determine which functions are available. It is distinct from USB-1, an older serial-interface accessory whose product page contains conflicting copy.

The buying decision

If a computer cannot communicate with the radio, the cable is only one possible cause. Check the selected connection mode, software, driver requirements and receiver instructions before buying replacements at random. A power-only cable can look like a data cable, so retain one known working lead for troubleshooting. For a desktop scanner, keep its specified external power source available; a USB socket is not proof that the computer can power the whole receiver. Verify the exact connector before applying force to a port.
