You need a USB type A male to type A female cable.  This is the type of USB
cable with its connectors such that you could plug one end into the other.
It's a bit tricky to get the plug onto the cartridge, and some USB extension
cables have too much plastic around the connector to allow it to fit onto
the cartridge.  But I hope this helps.
