I believe the USB connector at the host end of the cable: USB-3.x, so at least 5gb/sec, probably 10gb/sec, if you could find a device for the B-end that actually transfers at anything remotely that quick. The 480mb/sec is just a marketing burp. But at USD$9+shipping, it's still more than double the cost of the dx.com version. Faster delivery though.
