The USB connector has been around since 1995 and has been enhanced a few times since then. With each new version, USB 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and now 3.0, the transfer speed has increased. It's important to know that older USB devices will always work when plugged into a newer USB port (although the transfer speed will remain the same). The opposite is usually true - you can connect newer USB devices or cables to an older USB port - but not always. If you're not looking for an 'old-fashioned' USB cable, otherwise known as a cable with USB A connectors, but a Micro or Mini USB to USB cable? You'll find those here as well! Bax-shop has virtually every cable you need to connect your gear. Naturally, therefore, you'll find UTP cables, Firewire cables as well as other data cables here on the site.
