I have a collection of USB cables, some from their age must be
USB-1 but others almost certainly USB-2.
1. Am I correct that either type will work with USB-1 or USB-2
devices or ports but performance will revert to USB-1 if a USB-1
cable is used?
2. How can I identify the two types? Are the fairly stiff cables
with silver braid in a clear plastic coating USB–2?
No other responses ?
1. Yes ! Either type can be used on USb1 or USB 2 , but the original
USB cable may
or may not perform up to USB 2 Specs depending on what cable was
actually used to make it .
2. I have not been able to get a conclusive answer to this , but I
note that on one USB2 cable I have
it is identified in small writing running along and on the cable
" USB2 high speed Shield "
I would suspect that any of your cables with a silver braid would be
shielded and might reasonably
be assumed as qualifying as a USB2 cable .

This issue arose from the arrival and installation of a FujiXerox
C525A color laser printer, purchased following recommendations from
several members - good advice I believe! I like it, though the
less than instant startup for the first page seems slow after an
inkjet. All worked straight off too on our three Leopard/Tiger
machines on a hybrid wireless/ethernet intranet. It is plugged
into the USB port on the Airport Extreme box and I merely stripped
out the old printer drivers, installed the Tiger ones and away I
went. The Leopard driver was already there in the Leopard install.
Thanks to all for the good tips
