What Sort Of USB Cable?

Amnesia_180 · 01-28-2006, 09:28 AM

Hi there...

I have bought a USB HUB which wasn't supplied with a cable, so for now I have used the one from my External HDD...
However, it has like a half octagon shape on one end, and a normal large USB end on the other (for plugging into the computer).
What sort of cables are these as I will need a new one to replace the one on my ext HDD .

Thanks
Amnesia

I think you need something like this...click on the thumbnail and see the larger photo of the connecting ends.

Most printers, scanners and external closures use this one.

Most local shops will carry these.
