1 USB female type A where you connect the device you want to share and 2 USB female type B to connect the 2 devices you want to use the shared one. You use the shared device original USB cable to connect to the type A port in the switch.

The input from the keyboard/mouse is a female A connector. The lines that run to your pc's are Female B connectors.

From the computer to the switch module it uses two standard usb type A to B connectors which you will need to purchase separately. The cable from the switch to the printer is included with the switch. I have 20 foot cables on it and it works great.

I use the switch to connect a printer to two computers and switch between them. The connector to the printer is type a. The connectors to the computers are type b.

The definitive answer is yes. The type A adaptive works with USB2 or 3, and is backwards compatible for USB 2.0. Here is a link to this particular drive if you would like to learn more. http://www.buffalotech.com/products/desktop-hard-drives/drivestation/drivestation-ddr

In order to use the USB connector , I have had to purchase a usb to mini usb cable. It hasn't arrived yet, so right now, that is the plan. Assuming I have the sex of the connectors correct I should be OK

Yes, it comes with a USB cable. Both ends are USB though physically different and neither are proprietary.One end is the standard USB 3.0 Type-B micro connector that is unique to USB 3.0 devices. It's an open USB standard, not proprietary. You need this connector to provide USB 3 connectivity.The other end is a USB 3.0 Type-A. which fits the USB ports on computers and USB 2.0 hard drives. This connector provides both USB 3.0 connectivity and USB 2.0 backwards compatibility (at 2.0 speeds).

To the best of my knowledge, no. I believe the USB ports are only for interfacing with storage devices like external hard drives and flash drives.

No, it has a proprietary connection on the device that, with the provided cable, connects to a standard USB port.

Yes. It comes with a cable. It looks like the standard USB-A connecter on one end (computer end) and the flatter Micro-B USB 3.0 (split looking) connector on the other

Yes Tracy, it comes with a cable with a standard USB type A male on one end (the one that connects to your computer) to a USB Micro type B (the one that plugs into the drive) these are all standard cable/connections, for the USB 3.0 specification and fully compatible with USB 2.0, these are not proprietary connectors, I actually ordered an extra cable just in case mine goes bad or I loose it, so don't worry, you're set to go right out of the box.Thank you for your question, and have a great day!

No it's not a standard USB cable. I don't recommend purchasing this product.

No. It connects via 1 1/2 internal USB headers, 1 SATA, and 1 internal audio connector.

It comes with a proprietary connector that has USB in it which means any USB accessories you want to buy will have to be through Fuhu. For over a year they have only made empty promises about making accessories available but still none exists.I would have never bought the product had I known it had this proprietary connector. That would have been the red flag I needed to know this company is up to no good. As a decent company would have used a standard USB connector.

Despite what others say, the connector is standard USB ON BOTH ENDS. On the PC end, it is the standard type-A and on the printer end, type-B. I promise.

It is called: USB type A to USB type B cable. I would suggest a six foot cable.

No, Karen, it does not. It does have USB ports which is what I use to copy all my documents and ppts.

* USB Type A: These connectors, officially referred to as USB 3.0 Standard-A, are the simple rectangular type of USB connectors, like the plug at the end of a flash drive * USB Type B: These connectors, officially referred to as USB 3.0 Standard-B and USB 3.0 Powered-B, are square with a large notch on top and are usually found on printers and other large devices. USB 3.0 Type B plugs are not compatible with Type B receptacles from older USB standards but plugs from those older standards are compatible with USB 3.0 Type B receptacles. * USB Micro-A: USB 3.0 Micro-A connectors are rectangular, "two-part" plugs and are found on many smartphones and similar portable devices. USB 3.0 Micro-A plugs are only compatible with USB 3.0 Micro-AB receptacles but older USB 2.0 Micro-A plugs will work in USB 3.0 Micro-AB receptacles. * USB Micro-B: USB 3.0 Micro-B connectors look very similar to their Micro-A counterparts and are found on similar devices. USB 3.0 Micro-B plugs are compatible with USB 3.0 Micro-B receptacles and USB 3.0 Micro-AB receptacles only. Older USB 2.0 Micro B plugs are also physically compatible with both USB 3.0 Micro-B and USB 3.0 Micro-AB receptacles.
