? USB 1.1 or 2.0 cable

[Sam]

Just trying to determine how one can tell the difference between the
two? I am looking for a USB extension cable and I have no idea if the
cable is the newer 2.0 type.

There's really no difference, aside from the cost.

Yea, that's what I've heard too. Those cables marked USB 2.0 at a
higher price are a scam.

Any cable rated for USB1 is rated for USB2. You can find more info at
usb.org.

The only difference is that the USB2 spec requires shielding in the
cable, the USB1 spec didn't.
