Good morning Scott.
The device near the end of your u s b cable is, very probably, a ferrite
choke, designed to limit interference to or from other devices or sources.
It does not affect the functionality of the cable whatsoever. Standard u s b
2 cables differ from u s b 1 cables in that most have more shielding around
them and increased spacing between the conductors that, so it is said,
enhances vastly greater data transfer speeds.
Cheers,
Jerry
