FAQs

What devices is this cable typically used for?

This cable is most commonly used for connecting USB 2.0 printers and scanners to computers. It can also be used for other peripherals that feature a USB-B port and operate on the USB 2.0 standard.

Will this cable work with my USB 3.0 printer?

While you can plug this USB 2.0 cable into a USB 3.0 port, it will only operate at USB 2.0 speeds. For a USB 3.0 printer to achieve its full potential speed, a USB 3.0 compatible cable is required.

Is the cable shielded against interference?

Yes, the Kenable 009059 cable is shielded to help eliminate interference from other electronic devices or power sources, ensuring a more stable connection.

What does '24AWG Copper Cable' mean?

AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. A lower AWG number indicates a thicker wire. 24AWG is considered high-grade copper for USB cables, allowing for more efficient electrical current flow, which translates to faster charging and more reliable data transfer compared to cables with thinner wires.

What is the benefit of gold-plated connectors?

Gold plating on the connectors helps prevent corrosion and ensures a better electrical connection over time, contributing to signal integrity and cable longevity.

Can I use this cable for fast charging my phone?

While the cable supports faster charging than some cheaper alternatives due to its construction, it is primarily designed for data transfer and power delivery for peripherals like printers. Its charging capabilities for phones depend on the phone and the charger's requirements; it is not specifically marketed as a high-power fast-charging cable for mobile devices.

What is the length of this cable?

This cable is 2 meters (approximately 6.5 feet) long.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized by computer

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged in. Try a different USB port on your computer. Test the device with a known working cable. Verify the device's drivers are installed correctly.

Slow file transfer speeds

Confirm you are using USB 2.0 ports on both the computer and the device. Check for other high-bandwidth devices on the same USB controller. Ensure the cable is not damaged and connections are clean.

Intermittent connection or data errors

Check the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the cable is not routed near sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Try a different cable to rule out a faulty unit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Faster charging speeds compared to standard cables.
  • Reliable and stable file transfers due to shielding.
  • Durable construction with gold-plated contacts.
  • Specifically designed for common printer/scanner connections.
  • Good cable length for flexible setup.

Cons

  • Limited to USB 2.0 speeds, not suitable for USB 3.0+ devices.
  • May not be compatible with devices requiring USB 3.0 or higher speeds.
  • Black color may not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the USB Type-A connector into an available USB port on your computer and the USB Type-B connector into your printer or scanner. Ensure both connections are firm. The cable is plug-and-play; no additional drivers are typically required for the cable itself.

Compatibility: This cable is compliant with the USB 2.0 standard and features standard USB-A and USB-B connectors. It is compatible with any device that uses these port types and requires USB 2.0 connectivity. It is *not* backward compatible with USB 1.0/1.1 ports at their native speeds, nor is it compatible with USB 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2 ports for their higher speed functionality (though it will often still function at USB 2.0 speeds if plugged into a USB 3.0+ port).

Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the cable clean and free from dust. Avoid sharp bends or kinks, and do not expose it to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures. Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use.
