Digikey and Mouser don't carry custom cables (at least as listed under USB cables) aside from the regular USB male plug to cable leads. Unless you want to pay $20-30 a cable, it's unlikely worthwhile for any vendor to carry the mini USB to bare wire cable.

I think one off-the-shelf solution may be this: http://www.amazon.com/USB-Female-Min...le+usb+to+mini and this http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...363-ND/1531290. I'll keep searching for a single cable.
NavX MXP current consumption is <= 250 mA.
