Is there a way to make an USB 1.1 device be detected as an USB 2.0 device
Solution 1:
The FAQ says:
USB3.Optical cables by Corning are optimized to work in hi-speed (480Mb/s) and superspeed (5.0Mb/s) systems. The cable can support lower speed USB 1.1 & 1.0 peripherals (<12Mb/s) with use of a wall-powered intermediate hub (either USB2 or USB3).
So yeah, just use the hub you’d probably need anyway to provide power.
