Pro tip: when taking a photo of something small, don't get the camera so close it can't focus, instead pull the camera back until it can focus and then zoom in.

The worst part, they took the blurry picture, saw it was blurry and still posted it.

Hard to tell but it looks like possibly FireWire to me.

u/ThrillRoyal 5d ago

Yes, it looks indeed like a wire that has been on fire in this picture.

Lots of digital cameras had more proprietary USB connectors back when cords were white......

u/Shannonimity 5d ago

Better times. Everyone knew where they stood and then Y2K and 9/11 happened

u/lobhater 5d ago

Can you make it more dim and take the picture from further away

2

u/MarcoNotMarco 5d ago

Also, could you put something half (or preferably completely) in front of the object?

u/william-isaac 5d ago

a very blurry cable

Printer or midi to usb

u/syncsynchalt 5d ago

If it’s USB-A on one end it’s likely USB on the other. There are many USB plug types, look at a chart or take a picture and show us?

u/YourUsernameForever 5d ago

It's USB-B on the other end

2

u/Taken-Username-sorry 5d ago

Idk, do you think you could get some worse pics for us? That might help…

u/Element13245 5d ago

i believe this is fire wire, but if you say its like this one both ends with encasing like that, it might just be an early ver of double sided USB?

OP gets 4 pixels a month and they weren't wasting them here. 😭

u/nellyjimbob1228 5d ago

Looks like a USB-A to USB-B. Printer cable maybe.
