In summary, to connect a USB mini-b plug to a USB type A port, you will need a USB mini-b to USB type A cable. No additional adapters are necessary as the cable already has the necessary connectors on both ends. The cable can also be used for charging, but it is important to check the power output of the USB type A port. The main difference between a USB mini-b plug and a USB type A port is their size and where they are commonly used. As long as both devices have the corresponding ports, there should not be any compatibility issues when using a USB mini-b to USB type A cable, but it is always a good idea to check the specifications of your devices beforehand.
