  • Look at the ends of the cables. USB 2.0 cables have rectangular shaped, flatter ends. USB 1.0 cables have thick square ends.

    Test data transfer speed. Connect a device with each cable and try to move files back and forth from the device and your computer. A USB 2.0 cable is up to 40 times faster at transferring data.

    Recall when you received each cable. USB 2.0 cables are the new standard as of 2001, so any USB 1.0 cable you have most likely came with a pre-2001 device.

Technically, you can't merge 2 USBs into one. But usually if you have a double usb extension it can handle only one instead of two. Really, it doesn't matter if it's one main usb or a double. It will still work.
