Newbie with USB

[Drdaddy]

I am sure this has come up before. Can I use a USB 2.0 cable with 1.1 ports? Are there any differences?

Thanks

yes u can use it. USB 1.1 and 2.0 are all backward compatible. I think USB 2.0 cables are better shielded to prevent data corruption and ensure integrity. U can use USB 1.1 cable on USB2 port and still transfer at USB 2 speed.

Thanks for that note. Wal-mart has a cable that seems to be reasonably priced. I'll try it!
