USB Cables - Newegg.com

USB cables and adapters power cell phones and tablets, connect devices to networks, transfer data and more. For example, a USB-to-HDMI cable allows you to use the USB port on a smart TV to connect to the HDMI port on a satellite box. These types of HDMI cables, adapters and converters are useful for connecting to or transferring data from older devices to newer ones.

USB Cables Are Vital to Mobile Technology

The most common use for USB cables in recent years is to charge or transfer data from mobile devices. While power plugs and cables were once a single unit, they're now separate units to make connecting your devices to computers, kiosks or printers easier. There are USB connectors available for transferring data from a variety of mobile operating systems including iOS™, Android™ and Windows®. One end of the USB has the proper head end for the designated device and the other has a USB 2.0 or 3.0. The USB can attach to power adapters, laptops, TVs and any other devices with compatible hardware and software. Apple® products often use 2M USB cable-to-lightning cables for fast charge times and upload speeds for data transfer. The two primary USB 2M cable options for iOS devices are 6 and 8-pin headends. USB 2M cables are also available with micro USB, FireWire™ and multiple headends from name-brand and OEM manufacturers.

USB Cables for Reliable Data Transfer

Back up your gaming history, photos or mobile device data on to mass storage devices using USB or SATA cables with the proper headends. USB 2.0 A-to-B cables offer speedy connections between devices that both use USB ports to transfer data. Computers and gaming systems use SATA and eSATA cables to connect external drives like USB mass storage devices. Other external storage options include hard disk drives, solid-state drives and optical drives like Blu-ray, DVD and CD-ROM.

Lightning Fast Network Connections for Entertainment Devices

Fast network connection upload and download speeds are vital to gaming, streaming video and surfing the web. Use network Ethernet cables like CAT6 cables, which are capable of reaching speeds up to 250MHz, to receive fast speeds for video streaming services. Check the speeds that your Internet service provider offers, anything from 100MHz or below only requires a CAT5e cable. USB network adapters can connect devices wirelessly so you can convert older desktop computers into Wi-Fi-compatible devices. USB wireless dongles also work on Smart TVs that don't come with built-in wireless adapters, only USB or Ethernet ports. Newegg also carries various fiber optic networking cables and supplies to provide you with the fastest network options available. Choose from duplex and multi-mode fiber optic cables in a variety of lengths, headends and colors to complete your home or office networking connections. Color-coding different cables can help make it easier to troubleshoot connection issues down the road.
