USB Cable for MPLAB Xpress Board?

[Mike - K8LH]

Hey guys. Anyone know where I can purchase an inexpensive cable for the MPLAB Xpress board, please? The board has a "micro-B" connector and I only have cables with "mini-B" connectors. Anyway, I'm not sure what I'm looking for. It needs to go from my laptop to the Xpress board. So what is the connector that goes into my laptop? Is that a "male A"? And what is the connector that goes into the Xpress board? Is that a "male micro-B".

Appreciate the help. TIA.

Mike

Surprisingly, the micro-b jacks seem much more durable than the mini-b jacks.

Mini-b jacks have been removed from the standard I believe.
