Charging Cable: Olympus TG-1iHS

[juro]

Hi,
I really don't understand manufacturers that use non-standard cables. Point in case, my (very good) Olympus tough TG-1iHS - http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-TG-1i...id=1392578357&sr=8-1&keywords=olympus+tg-1ihs .

Now, somewhere I have put the cable so that I can "find it really easy" - obviously I have no clue where and I need to buy a new one. Does anyone know where I can buy this cable - I could order it from Amazon but I'll probably pay 20x the amount in transport costs.

Can you post a photo of the socket with a USB mini or micro plug next to it as reference. I have a cable in a drawer at work that might be an Olympus cable that is gathering dust. Found it in a box one day, nobody knew where it came from, nobody had a camera it might fit.

Hi Bruce,
not sure if the picture is clear enough. At the bottom is the camera - the left is the connector I am looking for (the right one is a HDMI out).
Above is a micro USB and a mini USB connectors for reference.

Here is a picture of what the needed cable looks like: http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-Stylus-Tough-TG-1-Cable/dp/B0094081U8

Hi Juro,

Just had a look at the cable at work and unfortunately it isn't the same. The one I have is four contacts up and four contacts down, your one looks to be six contacts down. It might be worth contacting the local camera shops and see if they can order the cable for you.

Bruce,
Thank you very much for checking!
