Product Information

Full details

The kenable 009032 is a 0.3m USB 2.0 extension cable designed for users who need to extend existing USB connections or devices. Its primary benefit is providing a more reliable transfer rate and the ability to extend powered devices further, thanks to its 24AWG shielded copper cable. A key consideration is that exceeding a total USB cable length of 5 meters may lead to device malfunction.

FAQs

What is the maximum recommended total USB cable length?

The maximum recommended total length for a USB cable connection, including any extension cables, is 5 meters. Exceeding this length can lead to unreliable performance or complete failure.

Is this cable compatible with USB 3.0 devices?

This cable is a USB 2.0 extension. While it may physically connect to a USB 3.0 port, it will only operate at USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps). For USB 3.0 speeds, you would need a USB 3.0 certified extension cable.

Can I use this to extend any USB device?

This cable can extend most standard USB devices. However, some specific peripherals have strict length limitations, and even with a quality extension cable, they might not function correctly beyond their original cable length. It's always best to check your device's manual.

What does '24AWG' mean for the cable?

AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. A lower AWG number indicates a thicker wire. 24AWG is a relatively substantial gauge for USB cables, contributing to better conductivity and signal integrity, especially over shorter to moderate lengths.

Why is the cable shielded?

Shielding helps to protect the data signal from external electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by other electronic devices or power sources. This results in a more stable and reliable connection, reducing errors and data loss.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

Information regarding the specific warranty period is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's official documentation for warranty information.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized or connection intermittent

Ensure the USB Male end is securely plugged into the host device and the USB Female end is securely connected to the peripheral or existing cable. Try a different USB port on your computer. Verify that the total cable length (original cable + extension) does not exceed 5 meters. Test the peripheral without the extension cable to confirm it functions correctly on its own.

Slow data transfer speeds

This cable is rated for USB 2.0 speeds. If you require faster speeds, a USB 3.0 extension cable would be necessary. Ensure that both the computer's USB port and the connected device support USB 2.0 or higher. Check for any potential sources of electromagnetic interference near the cable.

Powered device not receiving sufficient power

While this cable offers a reliable connection, extremely power-hungry devices may still experience issues if the total cable run is long or if the power source is limited. For such devices, consider using a shorter extension or a powered USB hub.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers improved data transfer reliability due to 24AWG shielded copper.
  • Reduces interference with its shielding, ensuring a more stable connection.
  • Provides flexibility for connecting devices at a slightly greater distance.
  • Durable connectors with gold plating for long-term performance.
  • Simple to use with plug-and-play functionality.

Cons

  • Maximum recommended total USB cable length is 5 meters; exceeding this can cause issues.
  • Some specific peripherals may not function correctly even within the 5-meter limit if they are sensitive to extension.
  • Limited to 0.3 meters, making it unsuitable for long-distance extension needs.
  • USB 2.0 speeds may be a limitation for devices requiring USB 3.0 or higher transfer rates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the USB A Male end of the kenable 009032 cable to an available USB A Female port on your computer, hub, or USB device.
  2. Connect your existing USB A Male cable or USB peripheral to the USB A Female end of the extension cable.
  3. Ensure the connection is secure. The cable is plug-and-play, so no additional drivers are required for most operating systems.

Compatibility:

  • Connector Type: Compatible with any standard USB A Male port and any USB A Female port.
  • USB Standard: This cable supports USB 2.0 High Speed data transfer rates. It is backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices but will operate at USB 1.1 speeds.
  • Device Limitations: As noted, the total combined length of USB cables should not exceed 5 meters. Some sensitive peripherals may not work reliably when extended beyond their native cable length. Consult your peripheral's manual for specific extension limitations.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
  • Do not bend the cable sharply or repeatedly at the connector points, as this can damage the internal wiring.
  • Keep the connectors clean. If necessary, use a dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe them. Avoid using liquids.
