I converted my cable park to a USB-C cable (male to male) and lots of adapers (the short sort you can keep in a box) years ago. Yet i have still some devices with a mini-B female port.

Only thing i found online are cables and everything else. Heck, there's even mini-DP > C and ethernet > C in that form factor.

To clarify, i look for something like this but mini-B instead of micro.

edit: Region is Swiss, Europe.

editedit: thanks guys, found one.

Same. I have a lot of legacy recording equipment that I won't replace until it stops working and it's all mini USB.

I'm just glad I got what I did instead of FireWire.

FireWire was ahead of its time. Thunderbolt is USB’s answer to FireWire

I can't argue with that because honestly I was jealous of the folks running it. But they are buying new equipment today and I'm not.

I don’t know about the audio equipment side - it’s just funny to me from a computer operating system side that FireWire “lost” and now USB is implementing the “bad” things that caused us to pick USB over it
