A USB cable is neither an input nor an output device by itself. It is a data transfer medium that facilitates communication between devices. The devices connected through a USB cable can be input devices (like a keyboard or mouse) or output devices (like a printer or monitor), depending on their function. The USB cable simply enables data transfer between them.

A usb cable is not a device. A USB drive would be a Storage Device and still not be an Input or Output device. A USB keyboard would be an input device and a USB printer would be an output device.

Because they transmit data to (input) or from (output) the computer.
