USB is 4 pins. It doesn't get any simpler than that. As long as the pins line up, it will work. You can cut the outside of the terminator off altogether and it will still work. Also, if you don't bugger up the order of the 4 wires inside the cable, you can just snip the terminator off and pop a new one on there. I know a guy who actually cut open the power cord for a ball bearing fan (designed for use inside computers) and popped a USB terminator on it to use as a personal fan at work.
