USB cables - any diff between 1.1 and 2.0?

[Almighty1]

Hi everyone:

Is there any difference between a USB cable for 1.1 and 2.0 or are they the same? How do you tell which version of USB the cable is for? Thanks.

there's actually none.

I use my old USB1.1 cable on my USB2.0 hard disk, no problem at all.

Thanks all... I guess there isn't a way to tell by looking at the cable... I wonder if the Pam Tungsten T, HP IPAQ PocketPC I5450/5455 are USB1.0 or USB2.0 devices?

I just picked up a Sandisk USB 2.0 reader, and it comes with a normal cable with no ferrite core.

Places do sell USB 2.0 cables, all these are generally is high quality USB cables....no spec difference....sometimes there is no difference at all...apart from the higher cost of course!

if the usb cable has passed the requirement of usb1.1, it's ok for usb2.0.
