I have an HP 2015d LaserJet printer, and included with that printer was a USB Cable with Type A / Type B heads. On the end that goes into the printer, there is a Ferrite Bead Core that the cable passes through. This cable came with the printer.

I want to put the printer further away, so I need to get a longer USB cable. Is it really necessary to get a USB cable that has the Ferrite Bead Core on it?

Is the Ferrite Bead Core for the "network" printer model, HP 2015dn LaserJet, and HP uses the Ferrite bead Core for both models?

My printer is for home use.

Thanks,

Jim
