It's also possible to go beyond the stated limit of the USB
spec IF the high-speed mode ("high-speed" in this case
being the full 12 Mbit/sec rate of the original USB 1.0 spec,
not the USB 2.0 rates) is never used and the link is restricted
to just the 1.5 Mbit/sec slow rate. But while it would work,
it's not technically compliant with the 1.0 spec, which I believe
required all USB cabling to handle the original max. speed.
And to compound the situation, the USB 2.0 spec was designed to work
with USB 1.0 cables, which means that any cable that doesn't meet 1.0
spec will not work at the 480 MB 2.0 speed, which is 40 times faster
than 1.0.
What irks me is that the stores are pitching these "USB 2.0 cables",
which is as much marketing hype as the "Digital speakers". If the
cables simply meet USB 1.0 specs, they will work at 2.0 speed.
