You'll want the cable that has a Type A plug on one end and a Mini-B plug on the other. The Type A end has 4 conductors (pins) and the Mini B end has 5 conductors, one of which is unused.
An example product is at the following link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812270122 But everyone pretty much sells them. If there's anymore confusion I'd suggest just bringing the braillenote to the store and showing them what it needs to plug into.
