FAQs

Can I use this with a printer?

Yes, this cable is specifically designed to extend standard USB printer and peripheral leads.

Is this cable USB 3.0 compatible?

No, this is a USB 2.0 extension cable. While it may physically fit in some USB 3.0 ports, it will operate at USB 2.0 speeds.

Do I need to install any drivers to use this cable?

No, this cable is Plug and Play and requires no software or driver installation.

Can I daisy-chain multiple cables together?

It is not recommended, as signal degradation may occur over extended lengths, leading to connectivity issues or slow data speeds.

Will this work with my old USB 1.1 scanner?

Yes, it is backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices.

Is the cable shielded?

The cable is manufactured for standard USB 2.0 high-speed specifications to ensure reliable data transfer for peripherals.

Troubleshooting

Device is not recognized by the computer

Disconnect the extension cable and plug the peripheral directly into the computer to confirm the device is functional. If it works directly, re-insert the extension cable firmly into both the port and the device.

Data transfer is slower than expected

Ensure that both your computer's USB port and the peripheral device are USB 2.0 compatible. If either component is USB 1.1, the connection will default to the slower speed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous 1.8m cable length for flexible placement
  • Supports high-speed 480Mbps data transfers
  • Plug and play installation is fast and simple
  • Backward compatible with older USB 1.1 technology
  • Durable design for daily printer and scanner use

Cons

  • High-speed performance limited to USB 2.0 compatible ports
  • Not intended for high-power demanding devices like external hard drives
  • 1.8m length may not be sufficient for very distant setups

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the cable is straightforward: insert the male A-plug into your computer's USB port and connect your peripheral's USB lead into the female A-socket on the cable. No additional configuration is required due to the native Plug and Play support. For care, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles or placing heavy furniture on top of it, as this can degrade the internal wiring over time. When not in use, store it in a dry, cool location and gently coil the cable to prevent tangling or kinks.
