This guide is for users needing to extend existing USB 2.0 connections. The Kenable 009038 offers a reliable way to extend powered devices up to 1.2 meters with its 24 AWG copper cable and shielding to reduce interference. A key caveat is that extending beyond a total of 5 meters may cause issues, and some peripherals have limited extension capabilities.

The maximum recommended total length for a reliable USB connection is 5 meters. This includes the length of your original USB cable plus the extension cable.
No, this is a USB 2.0 cable. While it may physically connect to a USB 3.0 port, data transfer speeds will be limited to USB 2.0 specifications (up to 480 Mbps).
Yes, for standard keyboards and mice, this cable should work well to extend their reach, provided the total cable length does not exceed 5 meters.
This cable is designed to maintain signal reliability for extensions. It uses 24 AWG copper and shielding to minimize signal degradation. It does not inherently improve the performance of an already functional cable but helps preserve it over distance.
AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. A lower AWG number, like 24, indicates a thicker wire, which generally allows for better conductivity and less signal loss over a given length, especially for power delivery.
While technically possible, it is not recommended. Connecting multiple extension cables increases the risk of signal degradation and exceeding the total recommended USB cable length, potentially leading to device malfunction.
This cable has a USB Type-A Male connector on one end and a USB Type-A Female connector on the other.
Ensure the total cable length does not exceed 5 meters. Try connecting the device directly to the computer to confirm it works. Check that both ends of the extension cable are securely plugged in. Verify that the peripheral itself is compatible with extended cable lengths.
The shielding in this cable helps, but long extensions or proximity to strong interference sources can still cause issues. Try moving the cable away from power adapters or other electronic devices. Ensure the cable is not damaged.
This cable is USB 2.0, which has a maximum theoretical speed of 480 Mbps. If you are using a USB 3.0 or higher device, the speed will be limited by the cable's USB 2.0 standard. For USB 2.0 devices, ensure there are no other performance bottlenecks.
While this cable is designed for powered devices, very high-power-draw devices may struggle over extended lengths. Ensure the USB port on your computer or hub is providing adequate power. If possible, test with a shorter extension or directly connected.
