USB 3.0 cables — extension cables, A to B printer/drive cables and micro-B cables for external drives.
USB 3.0 cables transfer data up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0, which makes a big difference when copying large files to external drives, backing up photos and using fast storage. Extension cables add length without losing speed, A to B cables connect printers, scanners and drive docks, and micro-B cables connect many external hard drives. Blue connectors usually indicate USB 3.0. Check the connector types and cable length before ordering, as long cables may reduce speed. Using a USB 2.0 cable with a USB 3.0 device limits speed to USB 2.0 levels. Shielded cables reduce interference.
