Question
Hi,
My wife has a seven year old Dell desktop, which serves her needs.
The manual days that the USB inputs are on the back.
Wanting to back up the data on a flash drive, and finding the back of the computer difficult to get to, I bought a cable with a USB male on one end and a USB female on the other. This way I'd only have to get to the back once, After that the USB female would be easy to get to.
However, when I got to the back of the computer I found that the USB inputs wouldn't take the USB male on the cable. The inputs look like they take the sort of modular plug you use for phones.
Question: Seven years ago, did USB cables use modular plugs? If so, is there a USB-to-modular cable?
I called Dell about this, but lots of luck getting them to answer
Many thanks for any help you can offer.
Steve
