FAQs

What is the maximum recommended total cable length?

For optimal performance and reliability, the total length of all connected USB cables, including this extender, should not exceed 5 meters.

Can I use this to connect a USB 3.0 device?

This lead is USB 2.0. While it may physically connect to a USB 3.0 port, it will only operate at USB 2.0 speeds (480Mbps) and may not be fully compatible with all USB 3.0 devices or features.

Does this cable require drivers?

No, this USB 2.0 lead is Plug & Play and does not require any drivers to be installed.

What type of USB connectors does this lead have?

This lead has two female USB-A sockets, designed to accept standard USB-A male connectors.

What is the data transfer speed of this cable?

This cable supports the USB 2.0 standard, offering data transfer speeds of up to 480Mbps.

Is this cable shielded?

Yes, the cable is fully wired and shielded to help reduce electromagnetic interference and ensure a stable connection.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized

Ensure both connected male USB cables are fully inserted into the female ports and the source. Verify that both the source and device support USB 2.0. Try connecting directly without the extender to confirm both cables and devices are functional.

Slow data transfer speeds

Check the total length of all connected USB cables. If the total exceeds 5 meters, performance may degrade. Ensure the connected devices and cables are capable of USB 2.0 speeds (480Mbps).

Intermittent connection

Inspect the connectors for any damage or debris. Ensure the cable is not under excessive strain. If the issue persists, try using different USB 2.0 male cables or ports.
