Product Information

Full details

This Kenable 004200 USB 2.0 extension cable is for users needing to extend the reach of standard USB printer and peripheral leads, such as scanners. Its key benefit is providing a convenient 0.15m extension for devices that are just out of reach. A minor caveat is that full USB 2.0 High Speed performance (480Mbps) is only achieved when both the connected device and the computer's port are USB 2.0 compatible.

FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer rate for this cable?

The maximum data transfer rate is 480 Mbps, provided both the connected device and the computer's port support USB 2.0.

Can I use this cable with a USB 1.1 device?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible and will work with USB 1.1 devices, but it will operate at USB 1.1 speeds.

How long is the cable?

The cable length is 0.15 meters (approximately 1/2 foot).

What type of connectors does this cable have?

It has a USB A Male (plug) connector on one end and a USB A Female (socket) connector on the other.

Do I need to install any software to use this cable?

No, this is a Plug and Play device and does not require any software installation.

Is this cable suitable for extending power to a device?

This is primarily a data extension cable. While it passes some power, it's not designed to provide significant additional power to devices. For power-hungry devices, a powered USB hub might be necessary.

What is the product color?

The product color is black.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized or not working

Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the computer and the device. Try a different USB port on your computer. Verify that the USB device itself is functioning correctly by connecting it directly without the extension cable.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that both your computer's USB port and the connected peripheral are USB 2.0 compatible. USB 1.1 connections will operate at slower speeds. Ensure the extension cable is not damaged.

Cable connection feels loose

Check for any debris in the USB ports or on the connectors. Ensure the cable is fully inserted. If the issue persists, the cable may be faulty.
