Product Information

Full details

This Kenable 006869 USB 2.0 extension cable is ideal for users needing to extend the reach of standard USB printer and peripheral leads, such as scanners. Its key benefit is providing an additional 1.5 meters of cable length, offering greater flexibility in device placement. A potential caveat is that optimal high-speed performance (480Mbps) requires both the connected device and the computer's USB port to be USB 2.0 compliant.

FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?

This is a USB 2.0 cable, supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s (40 times faster than USB 1.1).

Can I use this cable with USB 1.1 devices?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices and ports, but it will operate at USB 1.1 speeds (12 Mbit/s).

Will this cable work with my USB 3.0 devices?

No, this is a USB 2.0 extension cable. While it might physically connect to a USB 3.0 port, it will only operate at USB 2.0 speeds and is not designed for USB 3.0 functionality.

What type of connectors does this cable have?

It has a standard USB A plug (male) on one end and a standard USB A socket (female) on the other end.

How long is the cable?

The cable length is 1.5 meters.

Is this cable suitable for charging devices?

While it can pass power, its primary function is data extension. For high-power charging, dedicated USB charging cables or hubs are recommended.

What does 'RoHS Compliant' mean?

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance means the product meets specific environmental standards regarding the use of certain hazardous materials.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized or working intermittently

Ensure both ends of the extension cable are securely plugged in. Try connecting the device directly to the computer without the extension cable to rule out a device issue. Verify that the computer's USB port and the connected device both support USB 2.0 for optimal performance.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that both your computer's USB port and the connected peripheral are USB 2.0 compliant. If either is USB 1.1, the speed will be limited to 12Mbps. Ensure the cable is not damaged and try a different USB 2.0 port on your computer.

Cable appears physically damaged

Do not use a visibly damaged cable. Replace it with a new one to prevent further damage to your devices or data loss.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends the reach of existing USB cables by 1.5 meters.
  • Supports USB 2.0 high-speed data transfer (480Mbps).
  • Plug and Play functionality for easy setup.
  • Backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices and ports.
  • RoHS compliant, indicating adherence to environmental standards.

Cons

  • Maximum speed (480Mbps) is only achieved when both the host and device support USB 2.0.
  • Not suitable for USB 3.0 or higher speeds.
  • May not be ideal for applications requiring extremely long cable runs due to potential signal degradation beyond specified limits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the male USB A connector into an available USB port on your computer or a USB hub. Then, plug your existing USB cable (e.g., printer or scanner cable) into the female USB A socket on the extension cable.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with all devices that use a standard USB A type connection and support USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 standards. It is backward compatible with USB 1.1 ports and devices, but will operate at the slower USB 1.1 speed in such cases. It is not compatible with USB 3.0 or higher, and will not provide speeds beyond USB 2.0.

Care: Keep the connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Avoid excessive bending or stress on the cable. Store in a dry place when not in use. The cable can be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth; do not use harsh chemicals or immerse in water.
