2.0 USB Cable - Backward Compatible?

Fellow Members:

I believe 2.0 USB cable is backward compatible with 1.1 USB cable ... However, before clicking on "Submit Order," would someone "in the know" verify this for me?

I'd conduct a Search of the Forums but the Order page is set but for this one component.

Thx.

Thanks for the confirmation! I appreciate it. I can now click SUBMIT! (Not bad: 15 foot 2.0 USB cable for $5.00 at www.Newegg.com !)

Again, thx.

I edited my post to "15 foot." But still, they beat my price! "C'est la vie, eh?" There's a baloon popper in every crowd!

Thx.

PS: "Well my cable came with a free Lear jet!" Ha!

Brangwen --

I talked to Belkin and learned that their 1.1 cables met the 2.0 specifications, so they just changed the packaging!
