What the hell is a "USB6" Cable and why can't I find any official documentation about it?

I stumbled upon an Olympus Stylus Tough-6020 digital camera at a garage sale and apparently, it charges with a proprietary USB cable (that looks a lot like the Nintendo DSI cable) but I can't find any Wikipedia article about it, or a pin-out schematic. I realize that I can order a generic one on eBay or directly from Olympus (for £ 23.48 !!!) but I'm kind of a nerd and like to build my own cables. ;)

Does anyone know why type of connector is uses or anything about this mysterious cable and what it's official name is? Is it CB-USB6? The goofballs at Olympus like to use Greek letters like "µ" on their website, so a simple search for "Stylus Tough-6020" yields zero results.

Also, I've found Amazon sellers listings that say it's compatible with CB-USB5, which begs the question: Wht the hell is a CB-USB5 and where can I get data for that? :confused:
