This 3-meter Kenable USB 2.0 extension cable is designed for users needing to extend the reach of standard USB printer and peripheral cables, such as scanners. Its key benefit is providing convenient extra length without sacrificing speed, though achieving maximum speeds requires USB 2.0 compatible devices on both ends. The cable features plug-and-play and hot-swappable functionality, supporting high-speed data transfer rates.

This cable supports USB 2.0 High Speed, which has a maximum data transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s (or 0.48 Gbit/s).
Yes, this USB 2.0 cable is backward compatible and will work with USB 1.1 devices, but the connection will operate at USB 1.1 speeds (up to 12 Mbps).
No, this cable is plug-and-play and does not require any driver installation for most modern operating systems.
This cable is designed for USB 2.0 speeds. While the connector might physically fit a USB 3.0 port, it will only operate at USB 2.0 speeds, not the faster USB 3.0 speeds.
The cable length is 3 meters.
It has a standard USB Type-A Male (Plug) connector on one end and a USB Type-A Female (Socket) connector on the other end.
While it can pass charging current, its primary purpose is data extension. For dedicated charging, using a cable designed specifically for charging with appropriate gauge wires might be more efficient, especially for power-hungry devices.
Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the computer and the peripheral. Try a different USB port on the computer. Verify that the peripheral device itself is powered on and functioning. If using a USB 1.1 device, ensure the computer port is functioning correctly.
Confirm that both your computer's USB port and the connected peripheral device are USB 2.0 compatible. A USB 1.1 device connected via this cable will operate at USB 1.1 speeds. Check for other active USB devices that might be consuming bandwidth.
Check the cable for any visible damage. Ensure connectors are clean. Try a shorter USB extension cable if possible, as very long extensions can sometimes cause signal issues.
Setup: Simply plug the male USB A connector into an available USB port on your computer or USB hub. Then, plug your existing USB printer, scanner, or peripheral cable into the female USB A socket on the extension cable.
Compatibility: This cable is compliant with the USB 2.0 standard and is backward compatible with USB 1.1. It will work with most devices that use a standard USB A connector, including printers, scanners, webcams, keyboards, and mice. For optimal performance, ensure that both the host device (computer) and the peripheral device support USB 2.0.
Care: To maintain the cable's performance and longevity, avoid sharp bends, kinks, or excessive pulling. Keep the connectors clean and free from dust. Clean the cable with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging it in water.
