Product Information

Full details

The Kenable Pro Metal USB 2.0 High Speed Cable is designed for users who require a robust and reliable connection for peripherals like external hard drives, cameras, and printers. Its primary strength lies in its heavy-duty construction, featuring gold-plated connectors and a durable braided exterior, though users should be aware that it is strictly for connecting devices to a computer and cannot be used to bridge two computers directly.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this cable to connect two computers together?

No. This cable is wired for connecting peripherals to a computer and could potentially damage hardware if used to link two computers directly.

Does this cable support fast data transfer?

This is a USB 2.0 cable, which supports speeds up to 480Mbps. It is ideal for most peripherals but is not as fast as USB 3.0 or higher standards.

Is the cable flexible?

Yes, despite the high-quality braiding, the cable remains flexible enough for easy routing on a desk.

Are the connectors magnetic?

The connectors are gold-plated metal, but they are not inherently magnetic; they are designed for standard friction-fit USB ports.

Can I use this for charging my phone?

Yes, it will charge devices via a standard USB port, though charging speed will be limited by the USB 2.0 specification.

Troubleshooting

Device is not being recognized by the computer

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely seated. If the issue persists, try a different USB port on the computer to rule out a faulty motherboard port.

External drive keeps disconnecting

Verify that the peripheral is not requiring more power than the specific USB 2.0 port can supply, or try connecting to a rear port if using a desktop tower.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality braided exterior for extra durability
  • Gold-plated components to prevent signal corrosion
  • Enhanced shielding blocks electronic interference
  • Sturdy metal housing protects the connection points

Cons

  • Not intended for host-to-host computer connections
  • USB 2.0 speeds are slower than USB 3.0 or 3.1 standards
  • Fixed 1-meter length may be short for some desktop setups

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, simply insert the USB-A male end into an available port on your computer and the opposite USB-A end into your desired peripheral. This cable is compatible with standard USB 2.0 devices, including printers, cameras, and external storage units. To maintain the life of the cable, avoid bending the cord at sharp angles near the connector housings. While the metal housing is resilient, it should be kept dry. If the exterior gets dusty, wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth.
