What USB does Focusrite Scarlett use?
The Scarlett interface is a USB 2.0 interface, using a USB 2.0+ (e.g., USB 3.0, 3,1 etc.) cable will work, but the increased bandwidth will not offer any benefits to the signal quality or latency speed. We recommend you use the shortest USB cable you can. We do not recommend using cables longer than 2m in length.
