3.0 USB Cable Compatibility

Post by George Redmon »

Will a 3.0 usb type A to B cable interchange with a usb 2.0 type A to B cable? I notice that the "B" plug on the 3.0 looks different then on a 2.0. I ordered the 3.0 cable by mistake. I know that the 3.0 will only stream at the 2.0 speed, but that's fine as long as the "B" plug will fit my table top CD Rom type 2.0 input jack. Other wise, i will have to ship it back. Appreciate any advice.

All that I've seen are different. Looks like you will have to send it back.

Thanks Jack, my eyesight is still not 100% yet. So i noticed that it was different. I didn't realize they wouldn't interchange. Here's the cable i'm gonna have to send back.
