Tenma 72-7715 Thermometer: Data Cable Type?

Greetings!

I have a Tenma 72-7715 Thermometer which is missing the original USB data cable. I need a replacement.

It is labeled as USB, but the connector conforms to no USB standard I know of. I do not see a replacement cable listed on the Newark site, nor is a port type specified in the instruction manual, nor in the technical specifications.

I have uploaded a photo of the port in question (see scale... it is 5mm wide).

Please advise.

Thanks!
ElectroBob

(The original post is over 2 years old) Looks similar to a USB Mini-B 4-pin though: https://www.cablestogo.com/learning/connector-guides/usb#USBMiniB4Pin Have an adapter here: Can't see them…

I've seen a connector like this on a cable to a camcorder a long time ago, but not on a USB port. I was trying to track it down when the website I was using disappeared. However, you may have better luck contacting the original manufacturer of the digital thermometer, UNI-TREND or UNIT. It seems that Tenma is Avnet/Farnell/Newark brand name for their in-house equipment, but in most cases OEM'd from some other manufacturer. I believe the product is a UNI-T 325. UT325 Contact Type Thermometer - UNI-T Meters | Test & Measurement Tools and Solutions (uni-trend.com) Newark's webpage said the cable is included with the unit.

After staring at the photo for a while, I was wondering if the USB (and SIGN) have dummy plugs in them. There seems to be a tab at the top of each port. If you press on the tab does the plug come out? Just thinking...

Can't see them listed on Farnell but looks like RS have them
