This video provides a basic overview to help you understand USB cables, connectors, and specifications. I omitted some minor details and exceptions — to keep it simple. USB technology is constantly evolving, so this video may become outdated.

*** SOME RECOMMENDED CABLES***
Please note that no one sponsored this video. I recommend these products, as I use them.
As you can see, there are so many options, so be sure to understand these three things:
1. The connector type (ON BOTH ENDS OF THE CABLE YOU WILL BE USING!)
2. The data speed that is supported by your Fuji camera. See this: digitalcamera-support-en.fujifilm.com/digitalcameraengpcdetail?aid=000004375
3. The supported power of the cable (if you plan on using it as a charger and not just transferring photos). DON'T GO CHEAP ON THIS ONE. YOU DON'T WANT TO SCREW UP YOUR CAMERA WITH A POORLY-POWERED CABLE.
Once you know this, then here are some cables to consider: (NOTE: This list will be updated)
USB-C connector type cameras (X-T5, etc., most later GFX models, XH models, etc., that support 10Gbps)
If you are plugging into a USB-A wall charger, then here’s an all-around cable that supports up to 10Gbps and won’t break your budget: geni.us/TwbFP
Here’s a 40Gbps one, top of the line, more than you need, but will be future-proof for a while: geni.us/oPgUY
(note that this is USB-C to USB-C)
USB-C TO USB-A connector type cameras (X-T3, X-T4, etc., older GFX models, etc. that support 5Gbps)
A good all-around cable that supports up to 10Gbps and won’t break your budget: geni.us/TwbFP
USB Micro connector types (GFX50S, XT2, X-H1, etc. that support 5Gbps)
For older cameras with USB Micro Type B, see the chart from Fujifilm for your correct cable spec: digitalcamera-support-en.fujifilm.com/digitalcameraengpcdetail?aid=000004375
This one isn’t bad: geni.us/POGy
Here’s a general listing page, and use the knowledge you now have from the video to find the suitable cable: geni.us/qzovQuD
