Product Information

Full details

This Kenable 2-meter green USB 2.0 flat data sync and charging cable is designed for owners of older Apple devices like the iPod, iPad, and iPhone models prior to the iPhone 5. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable connection for fast charging and data transfer between these devices and a PC or USB charging port, with a key caveat being its incompatibility with newer Apple devices. Key features include its robust USB 2.0 certification for speeds up to 480Mbps, a flat, tangle-resistant design, and color-coding for easy identification.

FAQs

Will this cable work with my iPhone 6?

No, this cable is not compatible with the iPhone 6 or any newer iPhone models. It is designed specifically for devices with the older 30-pin connector.

Can I use this cable to connect my iPad Mini?

This cable is not compatible with the iPad Mini. It only supports earlier iPad models that feature the 30-pin dock connector.

What is the maximum data transfer speed?

The cable is USB 2.0 certified, supporting data transfer speeds of up to 480Mbps.

How do I clean the 30-pin connector?

Use a clean, dry, soft brush or a cotton swab lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol (ensure it evaporates completely before use). Avoid using excessive moisture.

Why is it called a 'flat' cable?

The 'flat' design refers to the cable's shape, which is wider and flatter than traditional round cables. This makes it less prone to tangling and easier to manage.

Is this cable compatible with the latest iPod Touch?

No, this cable is not compatible with newer generations of the iPod Touch, which typically use the Lightning connector. It is designed for older iPod models with a 30-pin port.

What does 'plug and play' mean for this cable?

'Plug and play' means you can connect the cable to your device and computer without needing to install any special drivers or software. Your device should be recognized automatically.

Troubleshooting

Device not charging

Ensure the USB-A end is securely plugged into a powered USB port or adapter. Try a different USB port or adapter. Check that the 30-pin connector is clean and properly seated in the device's port.

Data sync not working

Verify the cable is fully inserted into both the device and the computer's USB port. Restart both your Apple device and your computer. Ensure you are using a USB 2.0 port on your computer, as some USB 3.0 ports may have compatibility nuances with older peripherals.

Cable feels loose

Gently clean the 30-pin connector on the cable and the port on your device. If damage is suspected, discontinue use.

Slow charging or data transfer

Confirm the USB port you are using is functioning correctly and providing adequate power. Ensure the cable is not damaged. Clean the connectors on both the cable and the device.
