What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is the short Mini AB USB host cable designed specifically for the Book Port Plus, a dedicated audio player for people who are blind or have low vision. The Book Port Plus uses this cable to connect USB devices like flash drives or other peripherals, and without it the host functionality doesn't work. This is a replacement part — not a standalone product — so it only makes sense to buy if you already own a Book Port Plus. Worth noting that APH has discontinued this item, so stock is limited and won't be replenished once it sells out.
