I just got a new multifunction printer/fax/copier/scanner (Brother MFC
4800). It did not come with a USB cable. So I trotted down to the
local Radio Shack. I needed an A/B cable that was about 14' long.
Their 16' foot USB2 cable was $45!
Shocked, I went over to Fry's. They had a Belkin USB2 with
"gold-plated contacts" for $35.
I came home and checked online. Many places have them for about $5-6.
Is there any difference?
Here are some I found:
