Troubleshooting
Device not recognized or intermittent connection
Ensure the total USB cable length (including any existing cables) does not exceed 5 meters. Try connecting the device directly without the extension cable to confirm the device is working. Check that the connectors are fully seated in their ports.
Slow data transfer speeds
This cable is USB 2.0 and therefore limited to USB 2.0 speeds. For faster transfers, a USB 3.0 extension cable would be required, provided your device and port support it.
Cable does not fit
Verify you are attempting to connect to a standard USB Type-A port. Ensure no debris is blocking the port or the cable connector.
