Product Information

Full details

This kenable 004293 USB 2.0 cable is designed for reliable connections with printers, scanners, and other USB 2.0 devices requiring a Type B connection. Its key benefit is the use of high-grade 24AWG copper for faster, more stable data transfer and charging compared to lower-quality cables, while shielding minimizes interference. The primary caveat is its USB 2.0 limitation, meaning it does not support USB 3.0 speeds.
