I'd like to get a spare usb cable for my office computer. I found some USB cables in a retail store that looked like they had the same style mini connector that would fit the RH-910. But they had 6 pin and 4 pin versions...

Will one of these work with an RH-910?

As long as the connectors are the same, they should work. To carry the USB logo they must meet certain quality standards, though that doesn't mean that some cables aren't still better than others.

I, personally, have used cables from cameras and other USB peripherals, and found that short cables at the least have little difference between them for use with HiMD - especially considering the fact that HiMD uses USB 1.1, and not even to peak rates [12Mbps] at that. It's pretty hard to go wrong.

That said, using extension cables can cause problems with transmission errors from signal loss due to mismatched impedances, same as pretty much any kind of cabling with any kind of signal bandwidth.
