Just about ever packaged USB cable I have seen has indicated if it 
met the USB 1.1 or 2.0 specifications.  There is even a different 
USB logo for 1.1 and 2.0. Once they are out of the package, it may 
be hard to tell. Some of my USB cables are labeled, and others are 
not. I have a cable in front of me that has "HIGH SPEED USB REVISION 
2.0" on the cable. If I were to dig through some old cables, I could 
probably find one that has "USB REVISION 1.1" on it. But I updated 
to just about all 2.0 cables now. (The exception are some of the 
retractable cables I use with my laptop and USB 1.1 devices.)
