Product Information

Full details

This Kenable 2-meter USB-A to USB-C cable is designed for users needing a durable and flexible charging and data transfer solution. Its key benefit is the super-soft silicone sheath that prevents tangles and offers enhanced flexibility, alongside support for fast charging protocols. A potential caveat is its USB 2.0 data transfer speed, which may be slower than newer USB standards for large file transfers.

FAQs

Does this cable support Power Delivery (PD) charging?

This cable supports Standard (5V) and Qualcomm Quick Charge/Adaptive Fast Charging (9V/12V). It does not explicitly state support for USB Power Delivery (PD) beyond these specifications, which typically involves higher wattages and different voltage profiles.

What is the maximum charging speed this cable supports?

The cable supports direct charging up to 3A maximum, in conjunction with compatible fast charging protocols like Qualcomm Quick Charge or Adaptive Fast Charging (9V/12V).

Is the silicone sheath easy to clean?

Yes, the super soft touch silicone rubber sheath can typically be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What are the data transfer speeds?

This cable supports data transfer at USB 2.0 speeds, which is a maximum of 480Mbps.

Can I use this cable with my laptop?

Yes, you can use this cable to charge USB-C enabled laptops from a USB-A power adapter or port, provided the adapter/port can supply sufficient power. Data transfer speeds will be limited to USB 2.0.

What does 'reversible design' mean for the USB-C connector?

The reversible design means you can plug the USB-C end into your device in either orientation – it does not matter which way up the connector is. This makes connecting your device much easier.

What is the length of the cable?

This specific model is 2 meters (approximately 6.5 feet) in length.

Troubleshooting

Device not charging

Ensure both the USB-A and USB-C connectors are fully inserted into their respective ports. Try a different USB-A power source or port. Check if the USB-C device or charger has any specific compatibility requirements.

Slow charging speed

Verify that your power adapter and device support fast charging (e.g., Qualcomm Quick Charge). Ensure the cable is not bent sharply, as this can impede current flow. Clean the connectors on the cable and device.

Data transfer not working

Confirm that both the USB-A port on your computer/device and the USB-C device are functioning correctly. Try a different USB port. Restart your computer and the connected USB-C device.

Cable feels stiff or damaged

Inspect the cable for any visible signs of damage to the silicone sheath or connectors. If damaged, discontinue use for safety reasons. The cable is designed to be flexible, but extreme forces can still cause harm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the USB-A plug to a compatible USB power adapter, computer USB port, or power bank.
  2. Connect the USB-C plug to your USB-C enabled device. The reversible design means you can insert it in either orientation.

Compatibility:

  • Data Transfer: Operates at USB 2.0 specifications (480Mbps).

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the silicone sheath with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Storage: Store the cable loosely coiled to maintain the integrity of the silicone sheath and internal conductors.
  • Avoid Extreme Conditions: While resistant to temperature fluctuations, prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold may affect the material. Keep away from sharp objects that could puncture the sheath.
