What type of USB cable is this?

I want to connect desktop with laptop to share documents and printers, what type usb cable male to male?

  • My desktop is located in one room and the laptop is in another room 15 ft. apart. I want to be able to use the laptop to work on documents, photos, printers, etc. The desktop will remain on but I will shut the monitor to save energy. I believe the cable should be a USB M to M. but I do not know what type, I do not want to order a wrong one. Please I will appreciate it very much.

  • Answer:

    You'd be much better off using WiFi and a WiFi capable router.

you need to set up an ad hoc network with the RJ 45 network cable

You cannot connect two computers using a normal USB cable. You could use an USB Easy Transfer cable by Belkin for example, but that is also not intended for networking, only for transferring files. Purchase a cross linked network cable instead to connect the two computer together directly.
