Belkin PRO Series printer cable - 3 m

Advantages: strong
Disadvantages: none

...Now iv not done a review on USB cables before, really its just never hit me that I could actually write about these and there’s also the fact that there’s not really much you can say about a cable, but ill give it a go. This is a normal printer cable which means it has two ends, one being the end which goes into any USB port in your computer or laptop, this end is the rectangle shaped end and is called a type A. The other end is which goes into your printer, and don’t worry as nearly every printer made has this kind of end so it will definitely fit, and this end is kind of square in shape and is known as the type B end. It transfers data to your computer at speeds of up to 480 mbps, that’s megabytes a second which is really fast and is about 40 times faster than USB 1.1 cables. The cable its self is 1.8 m which...

Advantages: Cheap and really useful
Disadvantages: non that I can think of

...find was the Belkin PRO series. This basically means that it has 2x the amount of protective sheath around the cable so that nothing can get through and distort the signal. Belkin are one of the leaders in computer products, they make everything from routers to cables and I have a few of their products and they have never gone wrong for me, so I trust them and their products. I went to my local computer shop and got this cable for the very reasonable price of £3.50. Since this is just a cable there isn't much I can write about it. You plug it into the computer and then into the back of your TV or monitor and it works, there's nothing else too it. It has a male connector on each end (it has lots of pins on it) and this plugs into a female connector (has lots of holes in it that the pins go in) Each end has 2 screws on it so that i can...

Advantages: small, dose the job
Disadvantages: gets hot, prints a little slow, over priced for what it is

...Normally i dont like Belkin products they often dont do what they promise and are usually hard to set up, this one dose however do the job and in fact was easy to set up. I do use a Belkin router which perhaps helped. I just followed the quick start sheet stage by stage and the unit worked first time. I did not need any additional drivers from the printer disk (hp all in one 100 series) .Print start is quick but printing is a little slow. Belkin supply a network cable (which is needed to set up only) but no USB cable (needed to link the printer during use) which is a mistake in my view. Like many of there products the unit gets quite warm and may act up when over hot as some of the other products do, Biggest problem is (perhaps not one everyone will have) my printer has only one usb port but i want it connected to both my desktop...
