Our garages, probably. Correct me anyone if I'm wrong, but a 10 year old
USB cable shouldn't be any different from a new one today in terms of
speed, right? There's no Cat5e vs Cat3 equivalent in the USB world, right?

Monoprice.com you won't find good cables cheaper. I'm going to be making an

Whaddayaknow! I've never heard of such. Maybe had one of those in a camera
cable one time way back? Knox Makers: every morning I wake up and wonder
what new wonder I'll learn from this mailing list.
Derek, I hadn't realized we lost the mini-B with the 2.0 --> 3.0 evolution.
Moment of silence.... and I'm over it.

On the left you will see two connectors label "Micro-A" and "Micro-B".
Those make up the joined connector, so I can see why the cable I did
find was labeled as A ->AB. On the right you will see what the
connecter looks like. That is labeled "Micro-B USB 3.0"

While most of us probably make our own Ethernet cables, I do recommend to
friends to go to Home Depot or Lowes rather than BB or Staples. Most
people also don't need Cat 6 to go from their cable modem to their
router.....
