Product Information

Full details

This kenable splitter cable is designed for users who need to charge multiple USB-C devices simultaneously from a single USB-A power source. Its key benefit is doubling the charging capacity of one USB-A port, ideal for efficiently powering smartphones, tablets, or other USB-C gadgets. A caveat to consider is that it's primarily for charging, not high-speed data transfer, and the total power output will be shared between connected devices.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this cable be used for fast charging?

This cable supports charging and will utilize the available power from the USB-A source. However, the total power is shared between two devices, which may limit the maximum fast-charging speeds achievable for individual devices compared to a direct connection to a dedicated fast charger.

Can I transfer data using this cable?

This cable is primarily designed for charging purposes. Data transfer capabilities are not its main function and may be limited or not supported depending on the connected devices and the power source.

What type of USB-A port do I need?

You need a standard USB Type-A port that provides power, such as those found on computers, laptops, wall chargers, or power banks. The power output of the USB-A port should be sufficient to charge two devices simultaneously.

How many devices can I charge at once?

You can charge exactly two devices simultaneously, provided both devices have USB Type-C charging ports.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable is 2 meters in length.

Is this cable compatible with all USB-C devices?

It is compatible with any device that charges via a USB Type-C port. However, the charging speed will depend on the power output of the source and the power requirements of the connected devices.

Troubleshooting

One or both devices not charging

Ensure the USB-A plug is fully inserted into a powered USB-A port. Verify that the connected USB-A port has enough power output to charge two devices. Try plugging into a different USB-A port or a higher-wattage adapter. Check that the USB-C connectors are clean and securely plugged into the devices.

Slow charging speeds

This cable shares power between two devices. Slower speeds are expected as the total power is divided. For faster charging, disconnect one device or use a dedicated charger for each device. Ensure the USB-A power source itself is capable of delivering adequate combined power.

Cable not recognized by devices

Check for any visible damage to the cable or connectors. Try using the cable with different USB-C devices and USB-A power sources to isolate the issue. If damage is apparent, the cable may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Allows simultaneous charging of two USB-C devices from one USB-A port.
  • Maximizes the utility of available USB-A power outlets.
  • Suitable for common mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.
  • Offers a convenient 2-meter cable length.

Cons

  • Primarily for charging; data transfer capabilities may be limited or absent.
  • Total power output is shared between the two connected devices, potentially slowing charge times for both.
  • Requires a USB-A power source; not compatible with USB-C power outlets directly.
  • Not suitable for devices requiring high-wattage charging individually without power sharing considerations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the USB Type-A plug into a powered USB-A port (e.g., on a computer, wall adapter, or power bank).
  2. Connect the two USB Type-C plugs into the respective charging ports of your USB-C devices.
  3. Ensure the USB-A port provides sufficient power for charging both connected devices.

Compatibility:

  • Input: Requires a standard USB Type-A power source.
  • Output: Compatible with all devices featuring a USB Type-C charging port.
  • Note: This cable is designed for charging. While some devices might support basic data transfer, it is not guaranteed or optimized for high-speed data sync.

Care:

  • Keep the cable clean and free from dust, especially the connectors.
  • Avoid bending the cable sharply at the connectors.
  • Store in a dry place when not in use.
  • Do not expose to extreme temperatures or moisture.
