What is this cable for? Solved

Question

Hello,

I might seem a bit silly (or not) but I have several cables of this type: http://www.deblan.tv/system/upload/cableusb.jpg

What are they for and what can I do with them?

Thank you

Hi,

Weird question... These are very common cables...

"What are they for and what can I do with them?"
These are USB cables with a type A connector on one end and a type B connector on the other, you can use them to connect a printer or an external hard drive to your PC for example.

See you later =)

Connect a printer to a computer, for example. Mainly.

No question is stupid.
These are cables mainly used to connect a USB printer to a PC or an external hard drive (3.5). Some other peripherals also use them, but that's primarily it for the general public.

Best regards

Thank you very much, actually I saw that I had this for an external screen and I wondered if it was possible to connect this screen to my PC's screen.

But actually, I'm using a PC cable so it works (for the connection between the screens).

Knowing that I have the ports to connect them, Type A (on the left in the image) on my PC, and Type B (on the right in the image) on the external display...
