Connekt Gear USB 3 Extension Cable - 2M, Black

This cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1) which offers SuperSpeed data transfer rates up to 640 Mbit/s.

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0, USB 1.1, and USB 1.0 devices, though it will operate at the maximum speed of the older standard.

No, this is a standard USB A-to-A extension cable designed to connect a USB peripheral to a host computer. It is not a USB data transfer or networking cable between two computers.

While it can pass charging current, its primary purpose is data extension. For fast charging, ensure the source port and the device support the required charging protocols. Data transfer is its main performance benefit.

'Plug and Play' means that once connected, your computer should automatically recognize the cable and allow your connected USB device to function without needing to install any specific drivers for the cable itself.

The cable features a Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket and a molded collar with flexible strain relief to protect the cable from stress at the connection points, contributing to its durability.

The product information states it comes with a lifetime warranty.

Ensure both ends of the extension cable are firmly plugged in. Try connecting the device directly to the computer to rule out a device issue. Test the extension cable with a different USB port or computer.

Verify that both the extension cable and the USB device support USB 3.2 Gen 1 or higher. If either the computer port or the device is USB 2.0 or older, speeds will be limited to that standard. Check for other USB devices on the same hub or port that might be consuming bandwidth.

Check for any physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive pulling or bending. Try a different USB port on your computer. If using with a high-power device, ensure your computer's USB port can supply sufficient power.
