Hi peeps hoping you can help me.
Belkin blue snaggles cable 10 mtre
Is this correct cable for connection my PS3 to my PC #34.99
USB 2.0 Belkin cable a-b
This correct for connection my new HPC4280 All in one Printer to my PC. #14.99
Bought them from PC World and they helped me , but I am not convinced as the salesman didnt seems to be very knowledgeable about products.
But , if you say they are correct then I apologise for my doubting thoughts.
Thanks to all who reply.

They seem to be the correct cables
Belkin Snagless cable 10m will be a standard UTP network patch cable and will allow you to connect your PS3 to your modem router. The USB cable will be flat as on your pc (A) to (B) as on your printer.
Have you opened the cables yet? If not take them back the prices they have charged are ridiculous!
The Snagless 10m cable is £10.89 for the same one made by Belkin or £2.10 for a generic one.
The USB cable is £2.48 for a Belkin or £0.90 for a generic one.
All prices from EBuyer.
The PC World mob seem to know sod all, I'm an IT engineer by trade and they still lie to me and when it is pointed out they skulk off.0 -
Thank you for that Arlen, I will take them back unopened.
Where can I get the generic ones from ,what name should I look out for on the package to make sure they are the correct ones? PC World said they were the only ones they had in the shop- I doubt this though, think they were playing on my old age and ignorance.
I LOVE THIS SITE!You live..You learn.:)0
