How to connect 1200D with GP-E2?

I have a GP-E2 receiver that I wish to connect to my 1200D body. I don't have the cables that would normally come with the receiver, and it seems not possible to connect the receiver through the hot shoe. According to the 1200D manual, you need a cable for this purpose and yes, the camera menu says, "GPS unit is not connected", even if I have attached the receiver to the shoe.

So I need a cable, but what kind? Both devices seems to have a USB mini B terminal, so my obvious guess is, I need a cable with a male USB Mini B connector on both ends, is that correct? Would is cause any risk to try a cable like that, and would it even work?
