The monitor manual says "This monitor is Super-Speed USB 3.0 Compatible" 5Gbps.
The monitor connects via a usb A - usb B cable seen above. The insides of the connector aren't blue (3.0), how in the world is this monitor USB 3.0 compatible?

PS. not looking to buy this, had it in storage and trying to repurpose it temporarily.

The cable in the photo looks like USB 2, but the diagram is definitely USB 3, as it shows the extra pins 5-9. Does the actual cable look like that, with 5 extra small pins in a row on the top side of the USB-B end? A USB 3 cable will also have extra pins inside the USB-A end, but they are harder to see. What about the socket on the monitor?
