After doing a bit googling for a long, 3 or 5 meter, usb 2.0 cable, and looking on ebay, I noticed that there is a wide variety in prices for virtually what seems to be the same cable.
Also I have some USB 2.0 cables which are thin and cheap to look at, and others which are thicker and look better quality. Does it make any difference between thicker and thinner cables regarding speed or data rates.
