This guide is for users needing to connect peripherals with a USB Type-A port to a computer's USB Type-A port. The primary benefit is a reliable, high-speed USB 2.0 connection for devices like external drives or cameras. A key caveat is that this cable cannot be used to directly connect two computers for data transfer; a specialized data transfer cable is required for that purpose. The kenable 002819 is a 2-meter black USB 2.0 cable featuring male Type-A connectors on both ends, offering 480Mbps transfer speeds, plug-and-play, and hot-swapping capabilities.

No, this cable is a standard USB A-to-A cable and cannot be used to connect two computers directly for data transfer. A specialized USB data transfer cable is required for that purpose.
This is a USB 2.0 cable, supporting speeds of up to 480Mbps. Full speed is achieved when both the connected computer and peripheral device are USB 2.0 enabled.
Yes, the cable is backward compatible with USB 1.1. However, the connection will operate at the slower USB 1.1 speed (12Mbps).
You can connect peripherals that have a USB Type-A port, such as external drive enclosures, cameras, printers (if they use A-to-A connection), and other USB accessories to a computer's USB Type-A port.
The 2-meter length provides flexibility in positioning your devices. It allows for connections where the peripheral may not be directly next to the computer.
Hot swapping means you can connect or disconnect the USB device while your computer is running, without needing to restart the computer.
Thicker 24 AWG copper wire allows for more reliable transfer speeds and can better support some higher-powered devices over longer distances compared to thinner wires.
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged in. Try a different USB port on your computer. Verify that the peripheral device is powered on. If connecting to an older USB 1.1 port, the device may not be recognized if it requires USB 2.0 features.
Confirm that both your computer's USB port and the peripheral device support USB 2.0. Using a USB 1.1 port will limit speeds. Ensure there are no other high-bandwidth USB devices competing for resources. Check the cable for any physical damage.
Check the cable for any signs of damage. Ensure the cable is not routed near strong sources of electromagnetic interference. Try a different USB cable to rule out a cable fault. Ensure the peripheral device's drivers are up to date.
Setup:
Simply plug the USB Type-A male connector into the corresponding USB Type-A port on your computer and the other Type-A male connector into your peripheral device. Ensure the ports are free of dust and debris before connecting.
Compatibility:
This cable is compatible with any device featuring a USB Type-A port and supports USB 2.0. It is backward compatible with USB 1.1 systems, but will operate at USB 1.1 speeds in such cases. Important: This cable is not designed for connecting two computers directly. A dedicated USB data transfer or 'null modem' cable is required for inter-computer connections.
Care:
To ensure longevity, avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling, or exposure to extreme temperatures and moisture. Store the cable neatly coiled when not in use. Clean connectors gently with a dry cloth if they appear dusty.
